Re:Dot Matrix Printers and security? (Score 3)

Even though Clifford Stol used that method in the infamous Cuckoo's Egg, operating systems seemed to have progressed well beyond that type of jerry-rigging. With the potential for autoarchiving log files, automating their conversion into different formats, and not too mention the cheap availability of older PCs that can serve as independent and secure log servers, a dot matrix seems to be a resolution only for the most paranoid sysadmin. (Of course, dot matrix printouts do still retain their age old hacker appeal.)
