This is an issue with logging accesses. Sooner or later, someone *will*
try another person's machine (trust me on this one). Alerting the
end-user like this is a good thing, for sure. If Joe doesn't lock up his
PC when he's not there, he's going to be in violation of my security
policy, and I'll want to talk with him as well as the person who did the
original deed. Anyway, disconnecting Joe's PC at the wiring closet is
much more effective as a prank, especially if Joe can't get in to fix it ;)
