Hi, folks!
Peter and I have experienced problems today while trying to login from
UNH: failed attempts to login, rejected passwords, weird messages.

Incidentally, I received a message from a friend mentioning recent hacker
attacks against universities running Linux and Solaris. Here is the
article from Stanford:

Some of the symptoms described were experienced by Pete and me today.
This might be nothing, but just in case... people with root privileges who
know what to do might want to doublecheck this soon!

Adrian
