You may have been r00t3d. Try nmap'ing the box (inc. udp scan), chkrootkit etc. All I can tell you is that there's no "-" user on full OEM (or whatever it's called) install of Solaris 7 and 8. What's the UID of "-"? If it's 0, be very afraid. Dima -- One distinguishing characteristic of BOFHen is attention deficit disorder.

[OT] "-" user on solaris
Hi, I know it is not Debian related,but if anybody has an idea... I just found a user with username - on a sparc/solaris, he has both an entry in /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow in shadow he is locked (*LK* as passwd) NIS should not be running, (and it would be a + entry, I think) any idea ? Michel.
