Yes, but it could have been any of iinet's users :)

You can get a list of iiNet usernames by executing the following Perl
script on the iiNet shell machine, opera:

#!/usr/local/bin/perl
foreach (split("", "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz")) {
        system("ls -1 /u/$_");
}

Piping the output through wc -l, I see that this would get you 56393
usernames :)
