Hi, I’m not sure if this is the right place to post this, I think someone is attempting a takeover of sdf-eu.org by social engineering.
A user named wheel
is posting on bboard
that smj has passed away, with a link to an obituary as well as a bunch of extremely unhinged stuff about soviets, russians, and smj owing them money?

Quarum Topic: After smj, founder of sdf, a computer people related
community, with free public unix/linux (netbsd currently), as the first
black man to produce such, proving such, died, crappy soviet wiggers tried
to steal his work, priviteising to their collection of public access
servers, disabled, used for illegal phishing purpose. http://is.gd/sdf_smj
Since all members of sdf could have easily sided with me instead of stupid
soviet pirates getting deported, ..I might redo sdf completely, seeing as
how, none of you were and still aren't on his side, and all have TOS
violations on record, setting all of your *:* to *:new and you're
directories 000 ... not sure just what else yet,.. ..but as for the really
ugly soviets working against smj's work, and every work, as wigger pirate
tend to,... Vote.. (actually I don't really believe you have much of a say,
but lets see how you feel?

I'm needing one of you to change my shell from psh to bash.
..if this doesn't happen very soon, all of you get TOS violations reviewed,
etc...
smj died oweing me money and services, soviets deleted my account and tried
to steal sdf. [o;-)

There’s more, since the user is new, it is highly likely that it is a joke, but I want to be cautious and throw out a warning in case it is not.
It is weird isn't it? Given the rest of the system behavior I would have expected the com command to redirect to the BBS or throw an error or something if I didn't have access. At the very least I wouldn't expect two similar errors with slightly different spelling for two different commands.
I'd been hoping when I was made an ARPA member and could change my shell it'd just fix it, but that hasn't happened yet. I generally enjoy troubleshooting things, but obviously with an unvalidated shell my options for that are basically nonexistent. I guess I probably should compare with a fresh account.
Thanks for the advice!
