Hi,
I've gotten two reports this morning of root logins from Nerd-Xing to some
of my Athena Linux systems within a few minutes of their taking the update
to 9.0.25.
First question: was this update forced? (I think someone was on one of
the systems when it updated.)
Second question: were the subsequent root logins from Nerd-Xing (at least
8 between 4:13 and 4:;37 on one host) part of the update process?
Thanks,
--Tom
