System name:		m66-080-13
Type and version:	SGI
Display type:		?

What were you trying to do?
	xzewd on m66-080-10 when I noticed several people logged on to m66-080-13 when it was vacant.

What's wrong:
	Apparently several different users are running programs simulataneously while the machine is prompting for a login password.  I ran top and noticed about 50 programs jumping in and out of memory.  Some people that are logged in supposedly have been logged in since 12:00 noon and it's 8:36 pm now.  They register as not currently locatable on finger.  I'm concerned about security.

What should have happened:
	None of this.
