If you have the Toronto swap tape (or access to Interex's CSL online) it is
contributed as PASSMASS.  It is a set of command files that drives Chris
Bartram's RNDPASS contributed program.  I will try to find time to package
the files tomorrow for ftp access, right now I'm cursing perl5 and annoying
Mark Klein trying to get the beast installed.  Assuming there's some degree
of success there, you may have perl5.001 tomorrow; otherwise you'll have to
settle for the password stuff :-)
 
The PASSMASS command files were created for just such a "suicide" mission.
It has been used once in real life and was extremely effective (talk about
the phones lighting up...).  If you get them, be sure to protect them; it
could be argued that they would be rather malicious in the wrong hands.

Damn, what a life :-)  Mark:  I think my find/rm got carried away :-)
 
Back to the drawing board, ummm, alleged "shell".
