a number of machines in the electronic classroom have had their
root password changed.  I don't know if this was part of the deal
with leaving the machines access_on or not.

It looks like the root password was changed on this machine on
6 December 93, just before 10am:

(m1-115-2-warlord) in /mit/warlord
Ready> ls -l /etc/passwd*
-rw-r--r--  1 root          431 Dec 11 12:11 /etc/passwd
-rw-r--r--  1 root          318 Dec  6 09:58 /etc/passwd.local

The lastlog of that time shows this:

sarcom    ttyqf    :0.0             Tue Dec  7 12:09 - 13:03  (00:54)
matrotz   ttyqf    :0.0             Mon Dec  6 16:43 - 17:23  (00:39)
root      console                   Mon Dec  6 09:58 - 09:58  (00:00)
inki      ttyqf    :0.0             Sun Dec  5 10:56 - 11:33  (00:36)

Just thought you should know.
