Hi Hotline,
I am not sure that this is the correct place to send this, but I just
received a talk request from someone at Brown University who logged in
as wook@e40-008-7. He just fingered the machine and started a talk
session for no reason. Below is what I saw on my macintosh screen.
Obviously, I had no idea who this person was, so I fingered him before
answering his request. He logged off immediately after I mentioned that
I would forward this session to the system administrators. Please
forward this message to the appropriate place if hotline is not the
correct place. Thank you.
Mark
