Thanks for your help Guys. It now says this:
> wtmp begins Wed May 7 13:21:47 2003 I think that is what had happened. I am new to this and this just looked dodgy to me! A friend also has ssh shell access to the box and got the following error message when connecting to the same my box: @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @ WARNING: REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION HAS CHANGED! @ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ IT IS POSSIBLE THAT SOMEONE IS DOING SOMETHING NASTY! Someone could be eavesdropping on you right now (man-in-the-middle attack)! It is also possible that the RSA host key has just been changed. The fingerprint for the RSA key sent by the remote host is 51:bd:cd:2e:6a:b7:35:b9:54:33:a8:e2:9a:57:95:0d. Please contact your system administrator. I don't get this from any other computers so is this just his computer?
