I noticed today that a user had his PowerBook hooked up directly into the
AppleTalk port of Python.  I would have gone over to talk to him immiediately,
but I wanted to get the facts first, and by the time I got back, he was gone.

I have a couple questions:

1) Does this create a denial of service for network users ? 
2) Does it cause any problem other than evading quota ? 
3) Darrin: Can the public HP's be set to syslog or something when they start
getting data from the Appletalk port ? 

and 

4) What else can we do about this
