You need to run couple of commands: "rpm -Va" will tell you if any of the binaries on your system (like ls, ps, an others) have been tampered with. "find /var/tmp" will reveal the contents of that funky directory. If it's mp3's or movie files something like that, you've been broken into. You can also try to use double-quotes to get into that directory, type exactly this: cd "/var/tmp/ and then hit the tab key - it might complete the command you are typing to take you into that directory. You might also have other stuff on your system you don't want. You can run the command: find / -type f | xargs rpm -qif | grep -i "is not owned" 2> /dev/null This will reveal any files that live on your drive that aren't there from a package.
