Is /usr/bin/spamd even still there? And /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf? My thoughts on this are that it's high time that you copied off all of your tweaked config files (after going over each one with a fine-toothed comb and a magnifying glass) and wiped that compromised box. Really now, David, what in $DEITY's name are you waiting for? Even if you sort out one problem like this one after another, you still won't know a) that it isn't still accessible by whoever got in, or b) that they won't return and undo any repairs that you make now at some point in the future (or do worse). The first Linux box I ever ran (which had Caldera OpenLinux2.2 on it; this was before I discovered Mandrake) was cracked, and I learned then the hard way that there is only one sane course of action in that situation - blow it all away and start over. BTW, that was also *why* I discovered Mandrake (7.1), so I suppose that the SOB actually did me a favor, in a way ... ;) Just my $0.02USD ... -- Bill Mullen [EMAIL PROTECTED] MA, USA RLU #270075 MDK 8.1 & 9.0 "In the beginning the Universe was created.
