echo "You are a Medusa user. Medusa used to be the GNOME search/indexing package. Nowadays, it's a password brute-forcer for logging into network services like telnet, pop3, ssh, http, etc. The old Medusa package has been included in the GNOME desktop for years, so you don't need to install it explicity. Probably you'll want to remove the new Medusa package. Or may be not... as you wish ;)"
