Will the person with the phony IP address of 192.9.106.2 please stop trying to log in as root on this machine. FYI, root is not 'root' on this machine. On this machine, root is 100.100 which won't do you much good unless you just want to read my linux-kernel mail.
'root' is used to filter spam. Most spammer code ignores accounts like root, postmaster, ftp, etc.
Sorry about the bandwidth. My log-files were getting big.
Cheers, Dick Johnson ***** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED ***** Penguin : Linux version 2.2.6 on an i686 machine (400.59 BogoMips). Warning : It's hard to remain at the trailing edge of technology.
