We're working on a case which involves posting messages via a Yahoo e-mail
account, using MIT machines -- one public cluster machine, and several MechE
private machines, among others.  The Athena machine was used to post a message
with these headers:
 
Received: from fort-point-station.mit.edu by po12.mit.edu (8.9.2/4.7) id
NAA25334; Sun, 16 Jul
2000 13:49:12 -0400 (EDT)

for <msa-sis@mit.edu>; Sun, 16 Jul 2000 13:48:59 -0400 (EDT) 
Message-ID: <20000716174910.9645.qmail@web6101.mail.yahoo.com>

18.187.0.142 translates to be w20-575-121.mit.edu.  

The date of 16 Jul 2000 is accurate according to the complainant in the case.

While the posting bears a PDT timestamp, that's because of the Yahoo e-mail system...
It's very likely this was posted at approx. 13:48 EDT from the w20 machine.

What do we have by way of logs about who may have been logged into that machine
at that day & time?

Thanks,
Tim McGovern for MIT Stopit
