[ale] Got hacked a week or so ago

[Dow Hurst]

Was lax on applying a patch to the telnetd daemon under IRIX.  Got
royally hacked a couple of weeks ago.  Am dealing with it as best I can
but would be interested if anyone has suggestions for a third party
security specialist that knows IRIX.  I have too much research work and
not enough time for sysadmin to address the situation properly.  The
university security officer wanted be to find out what I could about
knowlegable IRIX security consultants.  Really need someone who is
reputable and not fly by night.  Well, that phrase reminds me of a fly
by day person with lots of Unix experience!

Bob Toxen,
Do you know IRIX?

I've got the name and number of the main SGI Security contact for
outside work.  His name is Bill Manooch.  We will call him, I know.

Thanks,
Dow
