Greets,
I was experimenting with different sources of random data when I ran the
following command "head -c 32 /dev/socksys" only to find my system go into
a complete panic, crash, and reboot. I should note that I was logged in as
an ordinary user, and the system is Slackware 2.0.34.
Has anyone else heard of something like this?
Cheers,
