Interestink.
I've logged into its about twice, so you're certainly better informed
than me, Bernard.
It'd probably be sane to do a bit of firewalling.
Lots of occasionally patched unix and windows boxes at a Uni make
a pretty nice target, if only for nogoodnics inside WAIX/Parnet.
Anyhoo, keep up the good work
