That is a clasic example of a 'bad' error message. There was no security
breaking or anything to be worried about.
The error message resulted because I restarted the zephyr servers last night
due to some problems. The user should also have received a class operations
message instructing him to ignore the message.
Sorry for any worry this may have casued.

PS FYI this is the stock answer from OlC about how this error can occur in
normal operation, you might want to file it somewhere.
The message:
unauthorized attempt to change login information from 18.xx.xx.xxx
probably means that you had invalid Kerberos tickets when your location
or login status was being updated on one of the Zephyr servers. Since
your Kerberos authentication tickets were not valid, your identity could
not be proven and thus the Zephyr server logs the attempt as
'unauthorized'.
To refresh your Kerberos tickets, type:
renew
and answer the prompts for your password.
Then, type:
zctl load
to reload your zephyr subscriptions.
