Once, on logging in to his system, he saw an alert panel raised in the upper left corner of the screen that said "Security Alert: INTRUDER". Now the funny thing is that this machine is not networked and does not even have UUCP enabled. There is no getty on the modem line, although the user does dial in to the university daily. Has anyone else seen this panel. I went looking for it with strings and grep, but I haven't found what would put it up.
