The system is on a virtual domain server developed by Swsoft. The file system
is not ext2:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] incoming]# df -h
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
vzfs                  2.0G  323M  1.6G  17% /

That may explain why e2fsprogs are not installed on my system.

My fstab is pretty simple:

none    /dev/pts        devpts  rw      0       0

I have run tripwire and chkrootkit and both appear to be normal. If I have
been zapped, then it is not obvious. I have not found anything about a wierd
file name causing this problem, but ... 

A little research and I have figured out that uploaded files will be masked as
644 with ftp.ftp ownership. However, any attempt by an anonymous user to ls or
get results in an error (as it should). Consquently, I do not think I have
been zapped, but am having a problem with someone uploading a weird and long
file name. 

If I have been hacked, then I may get out of the business of using virtual
domain servers and just stick with my own boxes ...

Thanks for the help.

Mike.
