Strange Port hits

[Kevin O'Gorman]

Yeah, that occurred to me, and may be how they did it.  I was still learning
SQLServer, didn't even know yet that there was an 'SA' account as separate from
the Windows 'Administrator' account.  So that's likely it.  So I try not
to be dumb, but it's hard not to be ignorant when I'm always learning new
things.

Now it does have a password, as well as a different port.  I hope that's
enough.
