Only if their machine was unprotected such that this mischevious person on 
campus could get to it to install the necessary INIT.

Beyond that, NetBunny will not cross AppleTalk zone boundaries.  If it is 
started in, say, the "Computer Lab" zone, you don't have to worry about it
walking into the "President's Office" zone, even if the latter zone has
NetBunny installed.
