Re: [foxboro] Foxwacth2?

Well this is interesting.. For myself I would be as happy as a pig invited
to a pig barbecue.
For one thing this would violate our new corporate IT/Process Technologies
rules. That might be something you need to ask your folks Stan.

Our local Foxboro service guy was in here today, and asked for a copy of
/etc/hosts off of one of the machines in my zone> I asked curiously what he
needed this for, and he mumbled something about a new FoxWatch
configuration.

Knowing this had been done already in another persons zone, I went and
looked around I found the following in /etc/hosts:

#*****************************************************
# Start of IA Remote Plus Addresses
# created Fri Mar 30 14:38:41 GMT 2001
#*****************************************************
#
# The following host entries were created by the
# IA Remote Plus Software Install sub-system. Any
# additional entries should be placed AFTER the End
# delimiter.
#
151.128.8.123   fxwrtr
151.128.8.124   foxwatch2
151.128.8.125   foxwatch1
151.128.8.126   fxwsrvr
#
#*****************************************************
# End of IA Remote Plus Addresses
#*****************************************************

Being the curious sort, I tried telneting to the first one of thes:

AW0102# telnet 151.128.8.123  
Trying 151.128.8.123...
Connected to 151.128.8.123.
Escape character is '^]'.

Interesting, I asked the group leader in that zone if he knew what the
appropriate userid, and password to access this mysterious device was, he
said no.

I'm curious about how other people feel about a vendor putting equipment on
our (the customers) networks that we are not provided access to?
