Hello.  Yesterday, rmine machnes have been compromised. The hacker came 
in with compromised password (STAR user).  Then, he/she loged on to 
several rmine machines (including ours).  Luckily, it seems that the 
hacker did not do any damage as far as RCF knows. But, ITD/FBI might 
want to take these machines for investigation since that is their 
standard practice. (And, that would be really bad since many NFS disks 
are seved by rmines.)  To prevent the future similar incident, RCF 
suggested that only group account can used to log in rmine since a user 
can not log on to BNL gateway machines with group account.  This will be 
implemented very quickly.  If you have a problem, please let me know.

Hiro
