I just did my semi-frequent update of my system. Because of a hardware problem, I currently rely upon floppies to do all of my file transfers (the affected system has not connected to another system since 5 years or so), so I can only do a large transfer every couple of weeks or so. Before I could install the large packages, I encountered some difficulties:
- every time I start up the system, fsck tries to run on root file system, which is mounted - /dev/hda2 (/usr) and /dev/hda7 (/var) never unmount cleanly - xdm is "not" running while top reports it as running, and it looks and functions like it is running - ps catches Signal 11 every time I try to use it, and while shutting down - chkrootkit reports: [...] Checking `lkm'... Signal 11 caught by ps (procps version 2.0.7). Please send bug reports to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> You have 21 process hidden for ps command Warning: Possible LKM Trojan installed [...] - pcmcia never starts - nothing goes to xconsole anymore - root's path statement is ignored umount: /dev/hda2: not mounted umount: /usr: Illegal seek umount2: Device or resource busy umount: /var: device is busy done. The list of packages that have been updated and newly installed is below. Does anyone have _any_ idea (other than downgrading these packages or reinstalling my entire system) on how to deal with this? At the moment, I am most concerned about the problems with my root account, mount, ps, and the output from chkrootkit. For some reason, I have a sneaking suspicion that there is some connection between them. parted_1.4.24-1 tiger_2.2.4-19 john_1.6-17 acct_6.3.5-30 bastille_1.2.0-6 debsums_2.0.1 aide_0.7-11 integrit_2.03.02-1 harden-tools_0.0.12 harden-servers_0.0.12 harden-localflaws_0.0.12 harden-environment_0.0.12 harden-doc_0.0.12 update_2.11-4_i386.deb tasksel_1.15_i386.deb tar_1.13.25-2_i386.deb sysvinit_2.84-2_i386.deb syslinux_1.66-1_i386.deb sysklogd_1.4.1-10_i386.deb slang1_1.4.4-7_i386.deb pcmcia-cs_3.1.31-7_i386.deb mount_2.11n-4_i386.deb modutils_2.4.13-3_i386.deb makedev_2.3.1-57_all.deb libpam-runtime_0.72-35_i386.deb libpam0g_0.72-35_i386.deb libpam-modules_0.72-35_i386.deb klogd_1.4.1-10_i386.deb gettext-base_0.10.40-1_i386.deb fdutils_5.3-5_i386.deb elvis-tiny_1.4-18_i386.deb dpkg_1.9.19_i386.deb bsdutils_2.11n-4_i386.deb base-passwd_3.4.1_i386.deb base-files_3.0.2_i386.deb base-config_1.33.9_all.deb binutils_2.11.92.0.12.3-6_i386.deb binutils-h8300-hms_2.9.5.0.37.4_i386.deb gettext_0.10.40-1_i386.deb make_3.79.1-12_i386.deb nqc_2.3.r1-3_i386.deb tclreadline_1.2.0-4_i386.deb binutils-doc_2.11.92.0.12.3-6_all.deb cfi-en_3.0-4_all.deb developers-reference_2.9.0_all.deb doc-base_0.7.11_all.deb doc-debian_2.2.5_all.deb funny-manpages_1.3-4_all.deb gcl-doc_2.5.0.cvs-1_all.deb gnupg-doc_2000.10.01-1_all.deb info_4.0f-1_i386.deb libpam-doc_0.72-35_all.deb lskb_08-2000-1_all.deb man-db_2.3.20-13_i386.deb parted-doc_1.4.24-1_all.deb fnlib-data_0.5-6_all.deb imlib-base_1.9.11-3_all.deb imlib-progs_1.9.11-3_i386.deb cpp-2.95_2.95.4-1_i386.deb expect5.24_5.30.1-11_all.deb expect_5.32.2-4_i386.deb expectk5.24_5.30.1-11_all.deb expectk_5.32.2-4_i386.deb gcl_2.5.0.cvs-1_i386.deb imlib1_1.9.11-3_i386.deb libcupsys2_1.1.14-2_i386.deb libfreetype6_2.0.8-1_i386.deb libgd-gif1_1.3-2.deb..deb libgmp3_3.1.1-13_i386.deb libjpeg62_6b-5_i386.deb..deb libldap2_2.0.23-1_i386.deb libmysqlclient10_3.23.47-6_i386.deb libpaperg_1.1.5_i386.deb libparted1.4_1.4.24-1_i386.deb libxaw6_4.1.0-13_i386.deb t1lib1_1.3.1-1_i386.deb tcl8.3_8.3.3-6_i386.deb tk8.0_8.0.5-9_i386.deb tk8.3_8.3.3-8_i386.deb zlib1g_1.1.3-19_i386.deb eximon_3.34-1_i386.deb exim_3.34-1_i386.deb kernel-package_7.85_all.deb mysql-common_3.23.47-6_all.deb iptables_1.2.5-1_i386.deb lpr_2000.05.07-4_i386.deb mime-support_3.14-1_all.deb snort_1.7-9_i386.deb telnet_0.17-17_i386.deb gnupg_1.0.6-2_i386.deb libnasl1_1.0.10-1_i386.deb libnessus1_1.0.10-1_i386.deb mutt_1.3.27-2_i386.deb nessus_1.0.10-1_i386.deb nessusd_1.0.10-1_i386.deb nessus-plugins_1.0.10-1_i386.deb mtools_3.9.8-7_i386.deb sash_3.4-8.1_i386.deb catdoc_0.91.4-7_i386.deb groff-base_1.17.2-15_i386.deb groff_1.17.2-15_i386.deb gv_3.5.8-25_i386.deb ibritish_3.1.20-21_i386.deb ispell_3.1.20-21_i386.deb less_373-2_i386.deb magicfilter_1.2-49_i386.deb dpkg-dev_1.9.19_all.deb git_4.3.20-2_i386.deb patch_2.5.4-9_i386.deb sysutils_1.3.8.5.1_i386.deb lynx_2.8.4.1b-3_i386.deb Thanks for any help, Seneca [EMAIL PROTECTED]
