Could you check this machine and make sure that the software hasn't
been played with? I doubt it, but it might be worth checking. If I
were going to write a trojan horse xlogin, it would probably work like
this....

Date: Wed, 16 Dec 92 22:56:40 EST
System name: w20-575-78
Type and version: KN02ba 7.4G
Display type: PMAGB-BA
What were you trying to do?
Log in.
What's wrong:
Actually, I don't think there's anything wrong. It's just that the screen was blank(white) for an unusually long time(like 10-20 sec.), then the message "Incorrect Password" was displayed. Normally, when I make a mistake when entering the password, I get the "Login Failed" message. I also think that I actually entered the right password. When I tried it again, everything was fine.
What should have happened:
See above.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
