I had a closer look - seems to be at least 7 potential ways into the
machine, including port 513 login, and port 514 shell, which look
strange to me (these are the services reported on those ports - is this
guy running a shell as a service?!?). Looks like a box just asking to be
cracked, and perhaps has been. Anyway, I'm going to bed, will
investigate more tomorrow. Any advice welcome - particularly ideas as to
how this got past the Sydney Uni firewall, they'd probably like to hear
about it.
