haggholmGot to the office this morning to have my IM client inform me that my AIM screen name is signed in from two locations. Presumably I left Pidgin running on my laptop last night. I thought I’d be able to ssh into it and kill the process, but…well; I can certainly ssh into my desktop, and though my laptop has a DHCP-assigned IP rather than a fixed address and cannot have login requests forwarded from the router, I can scan my LAN from my desktop (which I am accessing through ssh) using nmap to find all active hosts on the LAN. Connect to what I find from my desktop, and—curses! My laptop, of course, is not running sshd.
I wonder how many IMs will go astray today?
