Most gratifying choice would be Abi, or OpenOffice - i.e., a pure free software installation. That's what's appropriate for a taxpayer-supported facility. (Not to mention a free institution such a public library.) If Microsoft applications must be made available Win4lin is preferable, IMO

So the plot thickens... This leads to a very much more interesting question, which is, just whose passwords were being attacked? Was this an attack on the local file, or could this be evidence of a zombie that is attacking other systems somewhere in the world??? That "global" might not be pure

People, I had a question from someone who had been hacked. They said: we have a process that is running - /usr/lib/lib-gblo.1.3.so that is taking up some massive CPU cycles. Do you know anything about this file? Does it exist on any of your systems? I can't find any reference to it.

library (libgtrans_ifase.so.0). ldd shows that it's not managing to link it. Running ldd on several programs, it looks like the system is not looking at /usr/local/lib to find libraries. How do I tell the system to use /usr/local/lib as well as /usr/local? I know it is probably a simple config issue
