Small package on console after starting X
Hello: I have this odd phenomenon, which I suspect indicates some sort of attack. After I start X, when I return to a console (with Ctl-Alt-Fx) there's what looks like a little package sitting in the bottom, right-hand quarter of my screen. After I Alt-7 back to X, and then Ctl-Alt-Fx back to a console, it's gone. Any ideas what it might be, and how to rid myself of it? I've used rkhunter and chkrootkit, neither of which reports anything amiss, but that may be meaningless. Patrick -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
