That's probably because you put the string *** Connected *** in your
trigger, however * is a special character that can match any number of
characters, so pretty much any line with 'Connected' as a separate word will
trigger it.

If you want to go with a trigger you can always escape the *'s with \'s
before them, so you'd have \*\*\* etc.. but remember some MOOs have changed
the connect message since you can with $server_options... it might be better
to make a connect hook instead of a trigger.
