                SLTP - The Simple LART Transfer Protocol


Status of this Memo
        
        This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol
        for the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions
for
        improvements.  Please refer to the current edition of the "Internet
        Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the standardization state
        and status of this protocol.  Distribution of this memo is

Abstract

        SLTP is a proposed protocol for the remote application of a
        LART, preferably painful and heavy, on lusers who annoy a
        currently incapcitated sysadmin. (Be it from being hung over,
        caffeine deprived, or just playing xquake.). The protocol
        works over TCP and is deriative of SMTP (RFC 821).

Acknowledgement

        SLTP has been the brainchild of the denizens of
        alt.sysadmin.recovery, it has been first developed for the
        lartd daemon, and has evolved since. The designer of the
        current version of the protocol is Nir Soffer, who can be
        reached via email at scorpios@cs.huji.ac.il.

1. Introduction
        
        The objective of SLTP is to efficiently and painfully distribute
        a LART via TCP. The implementation of which requires some kind of
        electric signal -> physical pain catalyst, in the shape and form
        of electric chairs, mechanically controlled 2 by 4s, or large,
        metal mallets attached to solenoids.

        Since SLTP is built upon SMTP it is possible to relay LARTs, and
        even store them for delayed LARTage in case a SLTP server crashes,
        by use of the LX (LART eXchange) DNS option. 

2. Extensions and Changes to SMTP 
        
        The following table shows the changes in commands between SMTP and
        SLTP:

        |----------------------------------------------------------------|
        |   SMTP    |   SLTP   |  Usage:                                 |
        |----------------------------------------------------------------|
        |HELO       |YO        | YO <host>                               |
        |----------------------------------------------------------------|
        |MAIL FROM: |LART FROM:| LART FROM: <bofh>                       |
        |-----------|----------|-----------------------------------------|
        |DATA       |CLUE      | CLUE                                    |
        |----------------------------------------------------------------|
        
        RCPT is now synomynous with WHAP .

        The following list is a list of the extensions in SLTP and their
        syntax:

        LUSER   
        
                The LUSER command is designed to have several sub options, 
                there is only one defines as of today, it is:
                
                CLASS
                
                The LUSER CLASS command accepts a numeric value - or a
symbolic
                value to define that number (some default symbolic values
are
                in Appendix A )
                
                The LUSER CLASS command affects the severity of the LART
                received by the Recepient. From a mild zapping to a total
                knock out toasting. 
                
                The LUSER CLASS command MUST be sent to the server AFTER the
                LART command. It MAY be put before the RCPT command or it
after
                MAY be put after the RCPT command. Otherwise a 504 error
message
                is displayed. (See RFC 821, Section 4.2.2 and 4.2.1).

3. Example SLTP session:

        The following is an example of an SLTP session to show you the 
        exact nature of SLTP. This is a simple and concise LARTage.

        R: 220 <host> LART server ready on port 666.
        S: YO <host>
        R: 250 Yo My Man, Nice to meetcha.
        S: LART FROM: <bofh>
        R: 250 Sure, man.
        S: RCPT TO: <luser>
        R: 250 Sure, man.
        S: LUSER CLASS: <class>
        R: 250 Sure, man.
        S: CLUE
        R: 354 Start clue input; end with <CRLF>.<CRLF>
        S: Disk quota is finite, fuckhead.
        S: .
        R: 250 Sure, man.
        S: QUIT
        R: 221 Seeya around, homeboy.

Appendices:

Appendix A:  Luser Class values:

        In general, the lusers cluelessness rating varies between 2 values,
        1, and 500. The following is a table to show numeric -> real life ->
        default symbolic value ratios.
