Gee, last time I reported cracking activity to netcom they emailed me
with a note that basicly blew me off saying for me to fix he holes at
my site and they they do not have any security problems.
I fixed this by just blocking all IP traffic from *.netcom.com, (and
letting email get delivered via. a MX host) since almost every time someone
would telnet/rlogin from *.netcom.com their passwd would be stolen.
