My thanks to the authors of the lamers.sh script, which I modified to suit my purposes. Comments and feedback are always welcome!
Speaking as the current maintainer of the lamers script, I welcome your modifications. Moreover, this gives me an excellent opportunity to start discussion of an idea I've had bouncing around in my head for quite some time -- I've always wanted to do an enhanced centralized version of lamers, one where people all over the world send raw summarized data to a central address, where all this information is put together and then checked. Indeed, I even own a domain name that could be very well suited to hosting something like this, and I'm in the process of moving it to a system where I've got complete control of the virtual machine, and should be able to run suitable scripts to process these sorts of things. What do you think? Would you folks be interested in helping me to create this centralized lamers process? If I could give you a script that you could run on a nightly or weekly basis and would send me the data, would you be willing to do so? -- Brad Knowles, <brad.knowles@skynet.be> "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania.
