Same here.  Several machines were obviously hit, but another had been
entered about 6 times without anything appearing to have happened.
There were traces of deleted files in /usr/tmp and entries of the
smtp transactions in syslog, but no other symptoms.  This was on a
sun-3/280 running sunos 3.5 with an "average" number of local mods.
