    BR> That reminds me of a book called the Cuckoos Egg, by Clifford Stoll.    
   Written by a Unix admin at Lawrence Berkeley Labs that tracked down a hacker   
   in their system and how he did it... back in 1989.  Very good and well   
   written....   
      
   The Cuckoo's Egg is a nice fast-paced read. There is a film/documentary by the   
   same name that was produced around that time which is also fun to watch.
