Machine M4-035-2 has been modified. Apparently, the "root" account
has been replaced with an account named "evan".
blade% less /etc/passwd
evan:!:0:0::/:/bin/csh
daemon:!:1:1::/etc:
bin:!:2:2::/bin:
sys:!:3:3::/usr/sys:

blade:!:9881:101:Edward Min Lee,Ed,E40-157,30276,6177308212:/mit/blade:/bin/csh

Note that the "root" password has also been changed. "mrroot" does
not work.
blade% su
Cannot su to "root".
blade% su evan
evan's Password:
Cannot su to "evan" : Authentication is denied.

As far as I can tell, all other things (inetd.conf, etc.) are the
same. If our belove root has changed automagically into evan, then
why the change?!!!
Thanx,
Edward.
