I might have been hacked but I am not sure. I have two servers that I have been able to ftp into now all of a sudden I connect give it my user name and password and it says invalid password and drops me. I can turn around and telnet in just fine. I thought it was a problem only on one server

There are all sorts of reasons why something might be going wrong that are not hack related, so I always start with my log files. Look at /var/log/messages, concentrating on the time between your last successful ftp session and your first unsuccessful one. That might also give you clues about

Good ideas, but remember that files on a hacked system are always suspect; for example, several exploits will run extra copies of inetd, with their own copy of inetd.conf stashed someplace strange like under /tmp, /var, or /dev. /etc/passwd is _DEFINITELY_ a good call. netstat is a likely

I'm confused. Tell me if I have this right. The firewall is going to be doing the dialing? And the dynamic IP address will be the one that gets assigned to the firewall's outside interface (the one attached to the modem)? If that's the case, then you might not need either one; your ISP should

Attempted clarification: Diald controls the ppp0 connection. My ISP assigns an IP address to ppp0 (the interface to the outside world) that changes with each login. I need to pass the address to my rc.firewall file so that it knows the value of IPADDR to use in the ipchains scripts that I

Hi Bob, which is better to use: dhcpd or pump and if the latter then where is the documentation so I can get a grip on it before deploying it. I would say dhcpcd (dhcpd is the server daemon), but that is because I couldn't get pump to work with my ISP (talking about RH

What the heck to I check? In addition to what the others mentioned, run 'rpm -ya'. It will verify all of your redhat package installed software against the redhat MD5 signatures in the rpm database. It is kind of a primitive, yet very effective, tripwire system. Read the manpage for details
