You assumed I was saying that. :-)

Both are criminal activities, but breaking into a house is a heavier crime than
entering an unlocked house. I don't know the difference, but there is a
significant difference in the maximum penalty between the two.

I also think that a system administrator should provide a credible explaination
of the things he did to protect his system. If you do nothing or not enough,
you are more or less inviting someone to break into your system.

Groetjes,
