Hi All,

I need your help in the following matter.

As i dont know much about this so i am putting a query here. One of my friend 
is facing a problem.
they have a linux box as mail/proxy server having two interfaces one is 
connected to a 
private wireless network which is having a router that can be connected to 
other private 
networks. The another interface is connected to their internal LAN. now on 
that server they found an unknown directory (with ... name) in root partition 
which they suspect as sniffing one and this directory eats up the whole root 
partition. thats all they know in this current situation.

can anybody tell me what could be the reason behind the creation of this 
unknown directory. 
is the system hacked or any vulnerability causing this problem. 
and is it possible that the directory is doing some sniffing there in root 
partition.

I would like to know all the possibilities and consequenses related to this 
auto created directory. and also how to overcome this problem.is there any 
other info available on net for this kind of issue.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance
Pravin
