Hey gang,

I had a weird thing happen yesterday. I have been running Pro-Mepis for a 
while now, and things have been working very smooth for me. Two day ago, I 
updated firefox from 1.0 to 1.1 and seemed to be fine. I was doing a bit of 
messing about in the directories, and noticed a new user added called 
"warren" around the same time as the update was done.

Well that freaked me out a bit to say the least. I grabbed chrootkit and ran 
that to find no problems with the system. I did notice in the properties for 
the user that root was the user and group. The only thing in the new users 
home account was .firefox and nothing else (No hidden files) 

I have no idea who "warren" is but I did a google and noticed that name as a 
ProMepis contributor/authour. It was a bit unnerving to say the least, as I 
am behind a router and guard-dog firewall and I am pretty careful with 
downloading proggies etc.

Am I to assume that firefox has done this? Any thoughts?

Thanks
Mike
