Neither command produces any return, because (as I discovered after I sent my first note), exim 4 is not running and refuses to start: root@/usr/sbin# /etc/init.d/exim4 start Starting MTA:/sbin/start-stop-daemon: Unable to chdir() to '/usr/sbin' (No such file or directory) exim4 itself is up-to-date (Installed: 4.69-9, with all exim4 files unchanged since 2008-10-05). Could the problem be with the /sbin/start-stop-daemon, a part of dpkg (1.14.25, installed 2009-02-07)? rkhunter just wrote, "Please inspect this machine, because it may be infected." Evidently properties of /usr/bin/ldd have changed, and I did indeed upgrade libc6 (currently 2.9-6) just before the trouble appeared. Would you recommend reinstalling dpkg and/or libc6? Or is it time for drastic measures? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
