Were these two people with subsriptions, two people with login
information, or what.

I do know that some other sites have gotten ahold of my inter-realm
zhm code (it *is* system:anyuser rl in AFS), and a few people have set
it up.  However, just because someone from a remote site subscribes,
that doesn't mean that they have login information....  Then again, if
they subscribe to personal messages, you will see a subscription for
message, personal, foo@realm....

Mark: I was probably the one who made the statement about remote subs
"killing" our servers (I don't actually think I used this verb,
however).  My reasoning was that someone at a remote site found my
code and set it up...  They were talking to me while doing this (I
didn't give them any help), and when they subscribed to Athena
messages, our servers started timing out and sending duplicate
messages.  I asked them to unsub, and when they did, our servers
stabilized.
