Hi,

I wrote about kernel errors which somebody pointed out was because the
server was running out of memory.

Now I found the following which makes me think that that server may have
been compromized.

If you can, unplug the network wire (though if they know what they are
doing, your hard drive might be wiped off when their scripts detect that
the network is down. It's your call.). Run rpm -V from a rescue cd (not the
one in /usr/bin) on procps, net-tools, and the other essential system
utilities (including rpm itself). Then you'll know for sure.


Just posting a question in regards to this statement.

How about pulling the plug and fscking the drive using the rescue CD? Not the best idea but could save a total wipe.
