Nope.
Neither a joke nor a mistake.
A few months ago (about 95 days ago, to be precise) we converted the machine
whose name is "decwrl.dec.com" into a gateway machine and disabled all user
logins. People read news and mail on other machines. The machine I'm sending
this message from, for example, is named "bacchus.dec.com", though almost
everything in the message header looks like it came from "decwrl".

I think you'll find that most large installations discourage or prohibit
logins on their gateway machines.
