What is this bastard sys admin or something like that

Question

I've read some long time ago something about the stories of a sys admin complaining about their LUSERS

It was something like the bastard sys admin or something like that.

Do you have a link from the original history?

EDIT

Thanks for the link.

What's the story ( history?? ) behind BOFH.

You're thinking of the Bastard Operator From Hell (BOFH), and his sidekick the Pimply Faced Youth (PFY). Enjoy :)

	Ahhh exactly that one. I read about it about 10 yrs ago ( maybe less?? ) but I didn't quite understand it. Thanks for the refresh – OscarRyz May 1 '09 at 5:27

The BOFH on the register is very funny, but, the very early stuff is by far the best.

The full archives are on Simon's site here.
