Try using nmap to scan the ports and see if any unncessary services are not running in the background. Also check the CPU usage and see if someone is using your machine to launch an attack or do some simple number crunching. regards vinayak hegde __________________________________________________________________________ http://dating.zeenext.com Log on to nextDATE.

The Computer Centre of my University had a Unix Lab with that kind of a set-up and I never got around to know how it was done coz our SysAd was somewhat unapproachable :p Anyway, if you give me some time I'll try to get this info from them. Aah! those VT100s - guys who worked in there were a respected lot! That's where I got hooked on to Linux. That makes me think of getting the word of PRC to AMU too. There's an Aligarh Linux Users' Group out there which was quite active till I left around the same time last year. I hope they're more active now. --- Tahir Hashmi (VSE, NCST) http://staff.ncst.ernet.in/tahir tahir AT ncst DOT ernet DOT in __________________________________ We, the rest of humanity, wish GNU luck and Godspeed _____________________________________________________ Supercharge your e-mail with a 25MB Inbox, POP3 Access, No Ads and NoTaglines --> LYCOS MAIL PLUS. http://www.mail.lycos.com/brandPage.shtml?pageId=plus

Re: Think my servers got cracked........any ideas..??

>Jul 1 15:41:24 paranux2 sshd[22177]: Accepted password >for ROOT from 61.11.13.154 port 62560 61.11.13.154 sounds like it might be from Dishnet DSL IP block... this means the actual user will be NATted from behind this IP. Anyhow if you've only been logging in with SSH your root password was never sent unencrypted. Hence its pretty unlikely that anyone could have gotten your password in just two tries! A cracker clever enough to launch a man-in-the-middle attack or something would also know enough to erase the logs and cover his/her tracks! I think it may be a false alarm. Just check if the admin (or you!) logged in from a cable connection somewhere!

I have forwarded you mail to Navin Dhanuka who has beeen a regular navindhanuka(a)mac.com Also, you can contact people like Phillip Tellis who is a regular for both the mail list and the meetings The last time i remember trevor warren was telling us about his attempts or plans to make a different kinds of distributions to increase the awareness of linux amongst Engineering students. We do a lot of stuff and its quite informal. -Ritesh --- Suhit Kelkar <suhit(a)linuxmail.org> wrote: > Hi Mr Ritesh Shukla, > > I am a new member of ILUG_BOM, and I have not > attended a meeting yet.

Accounting & Linux gr8 saswata u have come far. If you wish to add an "Accounting Software" to your list of >project, I will be willing to put in time to coordinate it (of >course, >someone here will have to tell me how this coordinating is >done). Thats nice ... but let me warn you it will be a lot of time if you wanna see accounting on Linux. If you have hours to give explain standards and protocols ... perhaps lead a team, I am sure people will help you out. As a suggestion why not go to sourceforge.net and find out whats already there.

That's cool! How do you do that? Btw your reasoning is valid, but that website gave no reason/explanation for doing that. Amish.
