xvm-140.mit.edu is cluster-test.xvm.mit.edu, which is a more screwed up
machine than normal. Normal Debathena machines shouldn't be running an
sshd, so that shouldn't be an issue. I'll kill off the remote syslogging
on cluster-test to make sure you're not seeing side-effects of our weird
configuration.
