Someone one was trying to find out something, according to the following UNIX commands.
$ ssh I@world
Password:
[world ~]$ who -H
USER LINE WHEN
I terminal 1865
Who was it? And to what famous quote does it refer to?

$\begingroup$ Should this get the rebus tag, by analogy with What famous line does this Linux command line represent? and What famous dialogue does this Java code represent?? $\endgroup$– DylanSpMay 19, 2016 at 16:49

I think it was
Alice
and the quote is
Who in the world am I? Ah, that's the great puzzle.
Explanation for those not familiar with SSH:
$ ssh I@worldstarts an SSH shell and logs in to "world" as user "I"
Next, you type in your password (obviously not visible. I wonder what it is).
who -Hin the SSH shell gives a list of users currently logged in. The-Hoption tells the program to write column headings (USER, LINE, WHEN)
Explanation for the year:
Alice in Wonderland was published in 1865

$\begingroup$ @fffred Well, the code doesn't seem to contain a reference to the second part of the quote... $\endgroup$– BaSzAtMay 19, 2016 at 21:30

$\begingroup$ @BaSzAt, correct, but it gives the connection to the title $\endgroup$– fffredMay 19, 2016 at 22:00
