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
