- Oh lovely, just because a user happens to show up as user@patriot you
- decide that it is hacked.. You don't even know the cause or reasons for
- this yet you are jumping to conclusions.
-
- I suspect this server is running under SunOS. jupiter.sun.csd.unb.ca
- had a similar problem for a few days (week maybe?) and it had nothing
- to do with hacking the source any shut shit. It just appeared that way.
- IT HAS TO DO WITH THE etc/hosts not mapping properly. The admin will
- probably have to define them by hand to fix it (if it hasn't been
- done already).
