Hi all,

Thanks for the replies,  I havn't had a chance to get back online till 
now, so now I get to read all those words of wisdom... One of which is 
to check your config files before restoring them after an attack...

OK, so I rebuilt an old  RH6.2 system and upgraded to RH7.1 in the 
process.  I got the RH7.1 install to format everything except my swap 
drive. 

About an hour after I rebooted my nicely rebuilt system (using my old 
ipchains rules - which are obviously lacking) I noticed the following 
tell-tale signs of intrusion yet again:

The IP addresses don't seem to mean much other than one of them is mine 
! (dial up so it varies each time)

The same thing happened on RH6.2 just before I got attacked (though this 
could be just coincidence)  but I beleive the vulnerability exploited in 
my case was via rpc.statd  (they loaded 'luckroot' onto my system plus a 
rootkit.  Unfortunately NFS uses rpc.statd for its locking (?) schemes 
so I can't just ditch it.


Has anyone else experienced this.  What the hell is going on ????
