I wanted a way to "hide" online as system administrator. So that when 
someone does a WHO or a W or a finger it will show me as not being online 
when I really am. I asked some friends about this, and a friend of mine 
that works on a Sun System with SunOS give me this file called "kedit.c". 
It works find and dandy on his system. When i compiled it on mine, the 
first thing was that the file system is different on Sun then FreeBSD, so 
i edited the C file and compiled it. And when I finally did it didnt 
work. So does anyone know about this utility? Anyway it can be ported to 
Freebsd? Or can someone point me to a freebsd utility that will do what I 
want. Thank you.
