There's a netwide advisory out (in comp.security.announce) warning that some people are giving away their passwords in response to requests forged to appear to be from system administrators (e.g. via e-mail, telephone, broadcast messages, "test" programs, ...). We know that nobody at UofW would be fooled by that (right ?). A system administrator *doesn't need* your password. Never give your password to anyone.
