Hi - - -

Several of our workstations were hacked into last week.  While I am not
sure that all of our workstations were tampered with, I would rather be
safe than sorry and have the system software reinstalled on each one.
Could you please send someone by either today or tomorrow to have the
software reinstalled.  The type of machine, serial number, and location
are below.

Workstation	Make	Serial Number	Location
================================================
anita		Sun5	551F15DE	66-250
rca-sun2	Sun4	633F06B1	66-250
tasun		Sun4	633F05CD	66-246
rca-sun		Sparc	433F0932	66-246

I understand that the beginning of the fall semester is a busy time for you.
If you can't send someone within the next two days, then can I pickup the
boot disks and instructions from someone on how to do the system installation
myself?

Thanks for your help.

Garrett
