Fedora 8 Security Issue

Jack_Fedora · 05-13-2008, 01:22 PM

Have had two users login to my server using an account they created called 'test'. How can they do that without showing a login for the root account? I learned this by running last and seeing that the users came in from a foreign address. I thought I had that address blocked in /etc/hosts.deny, but it did not stop them. I had no 'test' account on my system.

I have since removed the 'test' account.

Any suggestions or ideas?

No clue. Why not ask the moderators to move your thread to the Security sub-forum. I suspect that you problem is not specific to F8.
