There is a chkrootkit utility that might help you, but you'll still need to re-install from scratch. All chkrootkit will tell you is confirm that you've been hacked and by what. http://www.chkrootkit.org/ > I guess the install from scratch will re-format > the disks and this hack will disappear. Is that right? It won't re-format but will re-initialize the partitions. I believe it prompts for each one but can't remember, so check this out.

The systems here didn't have problems, nor did my home system. You may be able to just get away with using your old config files and seeing if it fails first before worrying about it. There isn't a lot of major reconstructing you'll need to do since the older bind did do some checking. You might just be missing some punctuation. .../Ed -- Ed Wilts, Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Member #1, Red Hat Community Ambassador Program -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
