In this case, the reply was to a DALnet server admin. The machine in question happened to be in my college, so the admin asked me to get in touch with my local COs who had heard nothing from cert@cam. Unsurprisingly they wanted it removed from the network pretty quickly. I'm honestly completely unsure of why nothing was done at the university level, and in most other cases where I've had to deal with them they've taken action quickly. -- Matthew Garrett | mjg59-uk.comp.os.linux@srcf.ucam.org
