Zog knows:

Nov 13 19:25:56 tiroth init: kernel security level changed from 0 to 1

NetBSD/hp300 (tiroth) (console)

login: root
Password:
root login refused on this terminal.
Nov 13 19:26:40 tiroth login: LOGIN root REFUSED ON TTY .nfsA00924.4
login: Nov 13 19:27:08 tiroth login: ROOT LOGIN (root) ON ttyp0 FROM
mnementh

The first login is via the serial port (console) and the
second is via telnet - I changed all those to secure in /etc/ttys.
The funny thing is that it *used* to work - I must have broken
something...

That would probably be sensible. I don't know how fast UK sites 
are from the other side of the Atlantic (or whether they get
marked as 'low priority' by JANET like .co.uk packets :-) )
Location is http://mnementh.trin.cam.ac.uk/hp/ (I feel like
I've been saying this all day :-) )
