Run strings on your client; that's where it's coming from: kidjo [02:32pm] # strings /usr/bin/ssh | grep away You don't exist, go away! I've gotten that message when playing around with NIS; it looked like the SSH client couldn't tell who I was when I ran it, so it quit. I don't think you've been cracked; ssh just can't tell who you are. ~Dan D. -- ++ Unix is the worst operating system, except for all others. ++ Dan Debertin ++ Senior Systems Administrator ++ Bitstream Underground, LLC ++ airboss@bitstream.net ++ (612)321-9290 x108 ++ GPG Fingerprint: 0BC5 F4D6 649F D0C8 D1A7 CAE4 BEF4 0A5C 300D 2387 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
