- I sent out a note a day or so ago requesting folks to e-mail me their wtmp
- files. So far, no response. Hopefully news is broken and I'll get a flood
- of them soon...
-
- So please, send me your wtmp file(s). It'll take you a couple of seconds and
- will really aid my research. We're trying to figure out how reliable hosts
- really are. Using the wtmp files will give us acutal data instead of
- statistical estimates.
-
- If you'd like to read about our work, have a look at ucsc-crl-91-06.ps.Z
- "Estimating the Reliability of Hosts Using the Internet" available using
- anonymous FTP from ftp.cse.ucsc.edu.
-
- Here's an example of how to send the wtmp files:
-
- ftp [1]% cd /var/adm
- ftp [2]% ls wtmp*
- wtmp wtmp.0 wtmp.1 wtmp.2 wtmp.3 wtmp.4
- ftp [3]% foreach i (wtmp*)
- ? uuencode $i $i | mail -s "`hostname`: Sun 3/50" wtmp-data@cse.ucsc.edu
- ? end
-
- Thanks in advance.
