One of our RCCs managed to create a host with the same name as
an lns.mit.edu host and got an interesting result out of moira.

His message is attached.

I suspect it's a bug of some sort.

Thanks,
Angie

Subject: abacus.mit.edu and moira

I just attempted to create abacus.mit.edu, and moira didn't complain.
Then I stella'd it, and found abacus.lns.mit.edu had been created instead.

[~ scyther]% host abacus
abacus.MIT.EDU is an alias for ABACUS.LNS.MIT.EDU.
ABACUS.LNS.MIT.EDU has address 198.125.160.19

I've renamed it cowbot.mit.edu to avoid problems.
