not really. I find those emails annoying so I turn them off. The mandrake security whatsit isn't very smart. It doesn't look like an entirely unusual thing for it to be doing, but unless you made a change to the system I would be suspicious. I'd look at the crontab, look at the programs it's running etc. As I recall all these tools are written in perl, so vim should be all you need to see if they're at all different. It could be that upgrading initscripts caused a change in the way the reporting output gets written -- if you upgraded initscripts :) -- just canvassing some less alarming possibilities. Is the INN stuff normally there? perhaps it's just doing this because something has gone wrong with your news daemon. What sort of stuff has happened to this machine lately?
