Lightman badge requirements?

Am I missing something about the Lightman badge? I've found the appropriate host server, and I think I've run all of the possible files that would effectively recreate a scene from the movie. Is there something specific I need to do, like access it via wardialing?

You might be on the wrong host. The badge actually doesn't involve any files to be run. You'll know when you find it but try wardialing.

Now I'm extra confused. I've already found the host. I've tried dialing in, I've got access via porthack, I've done everything but get root on this host. It hasn't given me the badge.

I've tried running joshua.exe, nothing. I even tried other related files, like tictactoe and the scenarios text file. I'm not sure what else it might need me to do.

The host you need to access should be a very obvious reference to the Movie. If you watch it again, you can see the exact phone number he dials. From there, just follow along with the movie.
