Tonight I quite randomly decided to see how far I can get fiddling with
hosting a mail server on my computer. In addition to some other docs,
tutorials, and howtos, I found this walkthrough at centos.org that seems
fairly comprehensive using postfix and dovecot:

Tested with both packages - no root kits found.
Both complained about java - a .java folder was found in /etc, but the files
inside it are empty or blank.
Proprietary formats are like trade secrets. For instance, the .doc format.
LibreOffice has to reverse engineer the format. To be such trade secrets,
programs that natively work with them necessarily deny the access to the
source, hence are non-free. And yes, there can be malware in such progr
Yes. Concerning the computer that you have connected, with an ethernet cable,
to a permanently powered up modem, I guess that, not being a modem integrally
built into the motherboard, and one that was purchased separately, it reduces
the risk of the computer being woken up remotely. (And, I'v

I recently learned that there's a bricking service offered for stolen cell
phones. After reading this thread, I'm certain that I never want to opt in. I
don't want anyone else to have control over my devices.
is there a real time kernel available for Trisquel?
I found this:
https://trisquel.info/es/forum/linux-libre-rt-real-time-ppa-launched but the
topic is closed
I installed it.

You might have caught a rootkit. It's more likely than clumsy
snoops, although they might use one.
Install packages rkhunter and chkrootkit, read their man pages and
see if you have one they know about. You're looking for them saying
pretty directly rootkit some-name has been found. You hav
just for the record the 9500GT is in and it works...
For the solution without the graficscard i am not sure where to plug in my
monitor, but there is no need for it anymore anyway.
Thank you all!
I am waiting for the next parts.
Noticed the following from Lembas' links...
"Wake-on-LAN support may be changed using a subfunction of the ethtool
command."
"In Linux, the real time clock alarm can be set or retrieved using
/proc/acpi/alarm or /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm.[1] Alternatively the
rtcwake utility may be us
There is no mention of either in the BIOS.
The machine was not plugged into the ethernet, so there'd be no "wake up"
signal from that source.
If it came from the wifi, then who sent it? I was asleep, as was everyone
else in the house.
Hard to see how a "real time clock" could wake the machin
Could it have been WOL or RTC alarm?

Well I can assure you that it has happened to me twice. And the laptop has
Trisquel installed and nothing else.
It was powered down, but the battery was left in, thus providing a power
source.
I've not seen my desktop PC (Dell Precision 380) do this, which has Trisquel
installed and nothing
