1. baggy pantsing
[Georgia Tech] A “baggy pantsing” is used to reprimand
hackers who incautiously leave their terminals unlocked. The affected user
will come back to find a post from them on internal newsgroups discussing
exactly how baggy their pants are, an accepted stand-in for
“unattentive user who left their work unprotected in the
clusters”. A properly-done baggy pantsing is highly mocking and
humorous. It is considered bad form to post a baggy pantsing to off-campus
newsgroups or the more technical, serious groups. A particularly nice
baggy pantsing may be “claimed” by immediately quoting the
message in full, followed by your sig block; this
has the added benefit of keeping the embarassed victim from being able to
delete the post. Interesting baggy-pantsings have been done involving
adding commands to login scripts to repost the message every time the
unlucky user logs in; Unix boxes on the residential network, when cracked,
oftentimes have their homepages replaced (after being politely backed-up to
another file) with a baggy-pants message; .plan files are also occasionally
targeted. Usage: “Prof. Greenlee fell asleep in the Solaris cluster
again; we baggy-pantsed him to git.cc.class.2430.flame.” Compare
derf.
