Thanks for the tip. I've been checking my logs, and I've run the most recent version of chkrootkit that I could find, and nothing suspicious has come up which would indicate that someone has rooted my machine to send out spam (with so many Windows computers out there, it seems a waste of effort to compromise a Linux box to do just that). Still, you can't be too paranoid. Tonight when I get home, I'll be tightening my firewall anyway and possibly rebuilding this server (it's currently running RH8; I'm pondering FC3 or possibly WBEL4RC1 for it). -- Richard S.
