Hi

last -adix on my RH 8.0 gives me this:

frankl pts/3 Thu Jan 16 09:35 - 11:30 (01:54) 0.0.0.0
frankl pts/2 Thu Jan 16 09:35 - 15:54 (5+06:19) 0.0.0.0
frankl pts/1 Thu Jan 16 09:35 still logged in 0.0.0.0
frankl :0 Thu Jan 16 08:51 still logged in 136.46.1.64
root tty1 Thu Jan 16 08:49 - 08:50 (00:01) 0.0.0.0
runlevel (to lvl 5) Thu Jan 16 08:38 - 08:25 (6+23:47) 0.0.0.0
reboot system boot Thu Jan 16 08:38 (6+23:47) 0.0.0.0
frankl :0 Thu Jan 16 08:26 - crash (00:12) 136.46.1.64
root tty1 Thu Jan 16 08:24 - crash (00:13) 0.0.0.0

Does the output from last -adix on your system look like this at all?
Especially the ":0" lines? Is those the only lines where you find
mysterious ip-addresses?

The 136.46.1.64 address is not one of ours.
