Cute:

[root at dugong ~]# man hosts.allow | grep -E BO | xxd
0000000: 4208 424f 084f 4f08 4f42 0842 5908 5920  B.BO.OO.OB.BY.Y
0000010: 5408 5452 0852 4108 4150 0850 5308 530a  T.TR.RA.AP.PS.S.
[root at dugong ~]#

I know how to get it left in a terminal window; the question for Arthur is

I'm not convinced, but he may have done something....
