Greetings All,

starting on 4th Dec 2001 at 19:47 (UTC) we saw an unusual scan from 
149.69.85.65 (owned by St. John Fisher College (NET-PSINET-B-69)) who 
have been notified -- no response yet.

Confirmed here:

Dec  4 22:45:56 DNSSERVER sshd[7396]: [ID 702911 auth.warning] DNS
lookup failed for 149.69.85.65.

This host is supposed to be protected by router ACLs, but apparently
not :( 

We'll be closing the hole shortly.

Corporations are not evil. That kind of anthropomorphism is inappropriate.
Corporations are too stupid to be evil, only people can be that.  -jwz
