Question Posted Monday March 3 2014, 10:39 pm

What does this do when you type it into a computer? I searched for it and nothing comes up? Someone typed this into my computer in the lab and I have no idea what it could do. Any geniuses out there know?

Hi there,

This is part of the startup configuration for a computer running a linux based operating system.

If you found this typed into a windows based computer, there is nothing to worry about. If you found it typed into a linux based system, you will want to alert whoever runs your lab. The string you posted by itself means nothing unless it was entered into the system configuration files, but it would indicate that someone was playing with things that they probably shouldn't be.
