A Silicon Graphics workstation called up our
4.2 vax and started up a uucico.
Funny thing was that the hostname on the SG machine
was null ("").  The vax then proceeded to give it
mail messages destined for at least 2 machines other
than the one that was dialing in with the null hostname.
It probably would have given away the whole store if
the transmission hadn't gone bad for line noise reasons.

uucp  (6/8-14:18-22263) OK (startup)
day  (6/8-14:18-22263) REQUEST (S D.kovacsB1G42 D.kovacsB1G42 day)
day  (6/8-14:19-22263) REQUEST (S D.kovacsX1G40 X.kovacsX1G40 day)
etc. ...

This is really bad.
