I assume you mean 9.0.24 here.

No, there was nothing special about this patch release; machines
would have taken it or not as they always have.

No; nerd-xing is one of the Athena dialup servers. It's never going
to be part of the update process. If you tell me the names of the
machines that were logged into, I can probably tell you what accounts
opened the connections to them from nerd-xing, but you should probably
also ask around and see if anyone who has root access to those machines
used it last night will logged into nerd-xing.
