I am through with the basic stuff like this.

I did installed (as mentioned in the opening mail). Nothing more than that. Weird stuff. I was wondering (there was no real basis for this) if my changing the nameserver entries to opendns in resolv.conf made me vulnerable in some way and there was some mischief like rootkit installation. I checked for rootkits just to be sure. Nothing threatening found. I have installed the application again ;-) Chetan -- ______________________________________________________________________ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List: ([email protected]) List Information: http://plug.org.in/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/plug-mail Send 'help' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for mailing instructions.
