local network only?

Derek,

mail to me, most likely I can track you down to at LEAST the machine you forged it from!

I don't have an account on this machine. The machine doesn't seem to care. Does the machine keep a record of this letter, I don't know? I'm using the command mconnect on a sun system. It asks me who I am, and then trusts me when I tell it! I have even told it I was ROOT, and it filled in "Operator" from the local passwd file! Is this security so lax because I am on a local area network unconnected to the Internet? Does anyone know? mconnect even gives me help if I ask it! I didn't mail this, not me
