I'd REALLY recomend (1) giving ewinkler a non-zero uid, and (2) if you
ever are on the internet, don't use telnet for root activities (well,
don't use telnet in general from an insecure netowrk, but especially not
for root). :-)

If your home network only is connected to the internet occasionally by
ppp, you're probably fine. If you're on a school or work net, change
passwords now! :-)

Take care,
