About OS X 'trojan horses'

Actually, I disagree. You would probably learn this command within the first 30 minutes of your first ever Unix class. Trying to keep it a secret is like trying to prevent people from understanding why something so simple as pulling a trigger or lighting a match can be devastating and used maliciously, which makes them sitting ducks for the sorts of socially-engineered computer 'tricks' that are just now appearing on the Mac horizon (and are much more difficult than viruses to prevent since they rely on loopholes in *humans* instead of computers).
