I noticed that w20-575-41 was accepting telnet connections.
Based on the /etc/athena/version file and the timestamp on
/etc/inetd.conf, I think that this machine was re-installed at 8.4 and
ended up with an /etc/inetd.conf that accepted
telnet/ftp/shell/rlogin/linuxconf connections. I commented them out
and HUPd inetd. I'd appreciate ti if someone could confirm that the
problem was caused by the install and if so, fix it.
