As I recall, the problem was that the file system suddenly looked
messed up?
Somebody mentioned that they had had the same problem, but the disks
themselves were okay (although would hope he backed up the data and
scrubbed software and settings just in case).
Suggestion from way out in left field, but have you checked that
something like $LANG and/or the locale settings have not changed to
something incompatible with the file name encodings and fonts you are
using?

The only recorded successful FC4 ssh break-in on a system I built
showed up as tens of thousands of random ssh log-in failures within an
hour. When they hit 90,000 per hour the attacker got in. They tried
to install a ebay spammer and some other code they had ftp'ed in from

Of course, the system was reformatted that same day.
Nope, but thanks for the suggestion. It was one of the first things I
checked.
I did have a fair number of log-in attempts, but, denyhosts kicks in
after
five unsuccessful user tries from an ip, and lists the intruder in
hosts.deny
- I have it configured to deny all to such intruders, not just ssh.
When I say "fair number", I'm talking in the tens - not hundreds, not
thousands...
