there's no chance of a rootkit (i guess you mean a
cracker's kit) since it's not connected to the net.
the linux security how-to didnt help me much. that's
why i was looking for a single line command that sets
things right. sometime back i secured a user's home
directory by such a command read in a book and tested
it by trying to enter it as another user. it worked
fine. but the root directory must have to be dealt in
a different way, i guess...
