1999. A very small hosting company. We relied on a guy who ran our three servers out of his apartment in San Jose, CA. They were just mini towers. During the time of the rolling blackouts in CA, he illegally ran a generator on his balcony to keep things online. He also apparently had multiple window air conditioners running to keep his apartment cool. We weren't the only servers he was running! Then there were the awful scripts he wrote. I didn't know Linux at the time, but I remember there was a bash script for removing accounts from a server. You'd run /bin/removeaccount.sh $username. But woe was you if you forgot to give it an argument. The script was simply #!/bin/sh userdel $1 rm -rf /home/$1 Right. So if you forgot the username, it runs rm -rf /home/. That was fun.
