[Pc_Support] [OT (for Linux)] Networking/hacked question ....

Wed Dec 14 12:18:45 EST 2005

Actually yes, if you right click on the system bar click on task manager,
and click on the 'users' tab, you can send messages between 2 systems on the
network.  As an administrator you could send to all users at the same time
with this method.  It will be a matter of setting permissions to prevent
this.

Subject: [Pc_Support] [OT (for Linux)] Networking/hacked question ....

.... I am posting this on behalf of a friend whose son is the principal at a
local high school in Gadsden, Al. He is having a problem where someone is
able to apparently arbitrarily type (usually obscene) text on any screen on
their network at random. I *think* it is an all-M$FT network, but will
verify. I thought they mught have been hacked, but am
*NO* networking expert, there might be some other way to do this. I
*think* the text pops up in a small dialog-type window, but that is also
unclear just now :-). Does this ring any bells w/ anyone, & in particular,
does that anyone know how to track-down/stop this ? TIA
