CSA2 breakins

 Nathan and Tilghman got talking...

 TL| Well looks like the #appleiigs boys are at it again.  Breaking
   | into other people's accounts.  Hopefully, this shows just how
   | juvenile and untrustworthy these folks are.

No, that didn't happen.  Look at the "Tom" address and you'll see it
LOOKS like that used by Charles Turley but it's not his actual address
(have you ever seen Dr. Tom log in as "cturley@wco.com"?  never!).  It's
aliasing, not breaking.  Someone posted under an assumed name, not under
the account of the person being emulated (and poorly at that).  Some
systems are easily tricked into accepting a made-up name and domain.

 NM|    Since you seem to be clueless about it, let's give you a free
   | tip (or few) on unix security...

You really ran with the ball on that one...  Thanks for the info on how
to keep an account safe (even if IMHO the earlier poster used the wrong
word or concept for what really happened).  We all should heed it!

yet another annoying post by brian.hammack@rook.wa.com -- deal with it.
