Hi! Yesterday, I discovered that my root accounts .bash_history was of size 0 (zero). This can be a sign of a hacked computer. However, taking it off-line and doing some basic forensic research revealed nothing. This doesn't mean that the computer isn't compromised of course. This happened right after I upgraded/emerged some packages, namely:
pyxml Archive-Tar IO-String libxml2 doxygen DBI Is it possible that one of these erased/overwrote $HOME/.bash_history or something like that (I'm running emerge as root)? I can't find anything in the ebuilds. My machine runs does not run any public services and the "shields-up" firewall test site claims my machine is "invisible", which of course doesn't really mean anything. I'm doing a re-install anyway, just curious... Best regards Peter K -- We Can Put an End to Word Attachments: http://www.fsf.org/philosophy/no-word-attachments.html -- [email protected] mailing list
