At this point, I'd just like to say ${DAVEK_ANTI_NORTON_RANT}, and
furthermore,
${DAVEK_ANTI_SYMANTEC_RANT:-${DAVEK_ANTI_NORTON_RANT//NORTON/SYMANTEC}},
while of course it is also true that
${DAVEK_ANTI_MCAFEE_RANT:-${DAVEK_ANTI_SYMANTEC_RANT//SYMANTEC/MCAFEE}}.

Or indeed running it in such a way that the redirection doesn't prevent
you from seeing what's going on, such as:
mkpasswd -d -l | tee /etc/passwd
which will let you see it spitting out entries one-by-one as the server
sends responses.

"net user EMEA\nlwiso". It's pretty universal in 'doze that wherever you
can put a username, you can put a DOMAIN\user string instead.
