Yep know him, he's a former player of the mud I code, and a few muds I
know of, he generally annoys everyone. From what I know of the code he
did he had a few ppl helping him, but they gave up as he changes the
server way too regularly. I'd not be overly concerned, if it don't
compile on his server then he'll give up, eg if it's got the socket
bound to a particular ip number. Certainly my mud is because there's
about 3 other muds using the same port number on it :)
The question of password is a case of he was given it, or he guessed it
(but that depends on the quality of the password used, and that you're
not foolish enough to use the same password for the shell account as
you're mud password (especially if you're mud passwords are cleartext,
even if they're not it's possible to crack a player password if you can
get it's crypted version.)

*.bash_history* helps.
You should always change password on a coder change.
