I have heard a rumor that it is possible for a user on 4.2bsd to go
invisible to other users.
Has anyone else heard this rumor and possibly confirm it.
Also, if it is true, could someone explain to me how it is done.
Thanks. I will take this in the strictest confidence.

one method of operating under a cloaking device is to start up
a shell on a network connection. thus
% rsh hostname csh -i
gets you a csh with no job control but which doesn't get recorded
in utmp. if the host is different from your own (where you *should*
have a utmp entry) this can be mystifying to mere mortals.
