/etc/login.access suspicious statement

This is 4.9-STABLE.

In /etc/login.access I find these lines:

   # Disallow non-local logins to privileged accounts (group wheel).
   #
   #-:wheel:ALL EXCEPT LOCAL .win.tue.nl

What is the ".win.tue.nl" doing here?

Is somebody at ".win.tue.nl" hoping for an innocent user to uncomment
this and allow login permission to the machine...;)?

Well, at least the comment explanation in the line above does not include
the effect of the extra ".win.tue.nl". I'm a little suspicious here.

Regards,
Rob.
