A real easy way of "hacking names" on a host is to just connect
up with TELNET and do a SYSTAT or FINGER.  Big Deal.

A gourmet "name hacker" would use the NIC's informative "WHOIS"
Server.  Just give the name of your favorite host preceded with a
star `*' (i.e.  try `*brl' for example) and a nicely formatted
list, replete with full name, initials(nic id), mailbox and phone
number will promptly be displayed.

Happy Hacking.
