>       My buddy Brian up in Boston @ mit said that, once an intruder
>gains root access to a machine, he will often install the rootkit.  This
>is a set of processes that will monitor for passwords and do other
>horrible, un speakable things to your machine while it innocently slumbers.
>To tell if someone's installed it on your machine, try typing ls -/ at
>your shell prompt.  If you get what looks like real output, you've been
>hit with root kit.  You'll get an invalid option message if you haven't
>been hit.  Be sure to get rid of root kit (no, I don't know how) before
>you go fixing your machine, because you're leaving your door open for the
>guy who got in to come back and help himself to whatever.  Ol' Brian has
>posted to this mailing list, and he's on it, so maybe we'll see a post
>from him...?
