I'm still looking for script kiddies trying to hack MIM. Once in a while I do get people who try to login repeatedly as root, falken, and other known Unix accounts. Poor kids... ;-)

I'm glad I'm not the only one!

I leave telnet open on one of my VMS hosts and love looking at the audit logs.   Most of the time folks just disconnect without even trying a username.   Other times it is "Administrator" and their ilk ... Once or twice a month I'll read the logs and just laugh.   You'd have to know me pretty well to guess the password for the few accounts on the system, I change them every 90, and of course intrusion detection is going to get you long before you get close. :)

Lets call it for what it is - "legacy" is a term that people use in a
polite but derogatory manner to imply that the future direction they
prefer is not that which they view as the current direction.
