Hi,
I've found quickstation-11-1 running Athena 8.4, thinking its name is
localhost, not responding to pings on its proper IP address, and complaining
that it thinks it's a layered machine. After a zephyr discussion on class
consult, I've turned it off and left a note on the keyboard stating that
nobody should use it because it may be compromised (it looks as if someone
reinstalled it themselves; who knows what else they did).
Mitch
