[news.sysadmin] Bogus articles coming from ditka and/or ???

kls@ditka.UUCP (Karl Swartz) (12/02/88)

I just noticed a few bogus articles here on ditka, containing
trashed innards, pieces of other articles, and/or path headers
like these:

    Path: ditka!
    Path: ditka!rpp386!dalsyal lux!killer!osu-cis!tut.cis.ohio-state.edu!bloom-beacon!gatech!mcdchg!clyde!watmath!looking!funny
    Path: ditka!rpp386!dalsqnt!po U -ller!osu-cis!tut.cis.ohio-state.edu!mailrus!ames!pasteur!ucbvax!hplabs!hp-sdd!hinojosa

They all seem to have come from rpp386, at least the ones that
have enough traces to tell, and there were a large number of
complaints about garbled news from rpp386.  There was also a
whine from uucp about a corrupt request from rpp386 -- perhaps
this was just some kind of communications glitch rather than
a problem on either machine.  John?
