Alright! A war story! I used to work tech support myself...got sick of it, did security for a while, got a better paying job as the shipping clerk at $LOCAL_COMPUTER_STORE. A pretty good job, get to fill in for a tech every once in a while when we're low on techs instead of letting some pointy-haired luser on the other end of a couple thousand miles of copper be my eyes and hands... > One such pinhead called up and demanded to know why we were scanning > port 53 on his network.

I always found it annoying when people would call me up asking about how to interpret their (non-syslog) wannabee-logfile output. "How should I know?
