   One thing puzzled me slightly over the last couple of days. Watching the auth logs I see login attempts with the following user IDs:

   2024-11-30 SSH ALLIN1MAIL
   2024-11-30 SSH PDP11
   2024-11-30 SSH PDP8
   2024-11-30 SSH TELEDEMO
   2024-11-30 SSH DECMAIL
   2024-11-30 SSH DECNET
   2024-11-30 SSH SYSMAINT
   2024-12-01 SSH SYSTEST_CLIG

   which to this #oldfart #greybeard sounds very #DEC #VAX-like.

   Anyone else seeing this? Or is somebody out there actually running an Internet-accessible VAX somewhere?

     @pitrh could be people running retrosystems on the open internet and making excellent mail relays?
