A quick rebuild was planned, so unlikely that drive may be examined. Additional: NT4 SP6 (maybe not 6a; unknown security rollup hotfix); not running IIS; part of a domain but not a domain server; running SQL Server (version not available right now); a share given access only to an access control list of specific, domain-authenticated users *and* authentication to SQL Server (reportedly); passwords claimed to be strong; same password used on PDC and this machine. Also noted by admin, unknown if related or if I understood correctly: Reports of "this IP is being used by another machine"-type messages for the machine in question. (Same day? Previous day? Previous week?); problems with "path unknown" and "unable to find domain" sorts of errors for previous two weeks; passwords not working and then working; currently unconfirmed report of an IRC-controlled "bot" on same subnet. > I have received three reports thus far of Windows systems > that have been damaged.
