Suspicious network connections

At a recent intrusion detection workshop, some of the attendees were
lamenting that there was insufficient baseline data to calibrate
some of the systems.

Discussion ensued, and over the next few days, a few of us came up
with (and ranked) the following, with the working title of "The
Grance-Letterman Data Set of the 15 Most Suspicious Network
Connections."

Without further ado:

14 chown -R nobody *      from     stallman@prep.mit.edu
