Hello, I installed a new server on Tuesday using Fedora Core 4 and today the shadow file was deleted three times. Since nothing was being done on the box at those times, I believe I was hacked. I am using the new Fedora Core 4 and I have the following services running: - named (from Fedora installation) - dovecot (from Fedora installation) (for imap/pop3) - sendmail (from Fedora installation) - clamav (an anti-virus that I have been using for more than 1 year without problems) (the latest version from the vendor) - sshd (from Fedora installation) - apache (version 2, the latest version from apache site) - php5 (the latest version from the site) - mySQL (the latest version from the site, listening only at the local port) I WAS using mDNSResponder, but I have uninstalled it after the problems. Since then, the server is stable (for how long?). The output of a 'netstat -anp' command is at the end of this e-mail. So, does someone of you know about any exploit that I must be aware of? I do not know how to get around this problem! Thanks in advance, J.
