************************************************** ***************************
WARNING: Anyone found keeping, downloading, writing in source code,
compiling, or anyhow
otherwise bringing _ANY_ hacking tools onto this machine, will have their
account REMOVED
immediately, without any questions or answers why, what or any other
bull****. This includes all remote
host exploits, nukes, flooders, password crackers, dns and ip spoofers,
sniffers, irc war-scripts and war-bots,
portscanners, localhost exploits or any other tools of network abuse
regardless whether they are in source code,
binaries or compressed archives, designed for Linux or any other operating
system. Anyone bringing stolen
information such as but not limited to: credit card numbers, password files,
software key codes,
etc will be granted a free interview with FBI or their favourite local
Gestapo. This means, we reserve the right to
inspect user directories for any software that may be used for remote host
abuse or violation, and will take immediate
action upon finding anything illegal. Any information obtained about any
illegal activities violating laws of any country
or state by our user, WILL BE forwarded to authorities of that country or
state upon request to cooperate
with investigation. These rules are enforced without violating your PRIVACY,
please read on further for detailed explanation.
************************************************** *****************************
PROXIES: Accessing this machine using any internet system that you have
accessed without authorization will result in account termination. This
applies to all exploited WinGate proxies or any other internet system. All
logs will be forwarded to the remote system admins requesting cooperation.
************************************************** *****************************
IRC: If you are involved in any irc wars, arguments, channel takeovers, etc,
your account may be suspended during the commotion. If your irc activity
brings
any denial of service attacks against this system, or complaints from irc
operators and K-Lines, your account will be terminated permanently. Please
be
careful not to accept any unknown files over dcc send, set your dcc autoget
to
0 to assure nobody sends you any lame files without your knowledge. We have
a
pretty good system of telling where the files came from and even if you did
not
knowingly bring them here, you still gonna get your ass whooped for not
being
careful.
************************************************** ***************************
SPAM: Using this system to mail out unsolicited advertisiments to local or
remote users, harassing usenet newsgroups or using @maxho.com e-mail in any
other harassing manner will be stopped by removing your account.
************************************************** ***************************
The following software is not permitted to be run on this system at any
time:
THIS MEANS NO:
* eggdrop IRC bots (on any IRC network)
* bnc (or any other irc redirector)
This list may be, and will be appended at any time by the administration.
Upon first violation, the software in question will be removed and the user
reprimanded. On the second violation, the account will be closed
permanently.
************************************************** ***************************
Standard user diskspace quota is 5Mb. This quota will be increased liberally
for those who keep interesting and worthwhile webpages. Requests for quota
to
transfer software and mp3's will be ignored.
************************************************** ***************************
When you invite someone into your house, you don't expect them to start
shooting at passerbys from your windows, and then smile back at you
wondering what's wrong. Sadly this is quite often the case, when you let
someone into your shell machine and then catch them nuking and flooding
other systems online. Since in every such case the administrator gets the
blame and has to deal with consequences, we have a zero-tolerance policy for
such violations. So before you start using your account, having read the
policy will spare you from embarassment and possibly legal problems.

This system is located in the United States and that means that our
primary language is English, which also happens to be the international
language, especially on the internet. If a user can read the manual on how
to use that lame nuker he just compiled, then by all rationale he should
have enough English to read the policy. So "no spika inglizi" excuse
doesn't cut it here.

Nobody here reads your private mail, sniffs through home directories, etc,
unlike some paranoid schizos might hope (you know who you are), first of
all because of a little thing called PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT.
What we have here are well documented ways of logging every program that
executes on the system, network ports it connects to, and every file that
is transferred to and from the system. All that is done without invading
your privacy, but with enough measures to catch anyone up to no good. When
you board a plane in the airport you go through a security gate which scans
you for anything suspicious, and if you have given the ramp agents enough
reasons, then they will be justified to search your luggage and frisk you
from head to toes, and of course if they find a bomb on you, then your ass
is grass. Why is this done, do I really need to explain? Well it seems so,
for every million of passengers going home or flying on business, there is
one psycho idiot who is flying to blow himself up along with all other
passengers on the plane. And the security measures are there as we learned
the hard way for our own safety. Everyone entering the airport is made
aware of such security policy, and so is every our user when being given
an account, everyone has an option of not accepting the policy and going
somewhere else to fly on "Asshole Pacific Airlines" and blow themselves
out of the sky as much as they want to.
************************************************** ***************************
Having an account on this system is a membership in a PRIVATE club, which
MAY BE terminated at any point for any reason at the decision of management.
Therefore, make sure you fully understand responsibilities and general human
manners of being a member of any community and do realize that irresponsible
and stupid behavior endangers everyone else aboard this ship. By logging
into
this machine you ACCEPT this policy and WILL follow the rules outlined in
it.
Otherwise you will be beaten up and thrown out to the dogs.

Sincerely your captain MAXHO.
