Mark & Hotline ---
From what Moira says, I assume this machine is the Athena machine in the 6-120
lecture hall.
Mark: there will be a problem keeping this off the net for any length of time.
Hotline/Hardserv: before we return this machine to service, can we get the
lastlogs and any other information that might be pertinent to the identification
of the user that did this... did they write a program that went awry, which
might account for the volume of postings that many people got.
