A hack??? Problems with Slackware 8.1 ... starting October 1
It may be that my Slackware 8.1 loads have been hacked and that might account for the problems I've had since October 1.
Running on 3 machines: Slackware 8.1 All posted security patches since June load... Problem.... All web browsers report a problem referencing "globals.pl" when the URL is a cgi-bin code.... all of them (5) The gnome calendar program crashes. Now all of these problems can be avoided by backing up the system clock to before October 1... I don't know that that is the exact date of problem appearance. I suspect (in order)...... glibc-2.5.5 openssl-0.9.6e openssh-3.4-p1 apache-1.3.26 All these were loaded as binary packages from the Slackware site and are the very same packages that are currently posted there.... It could also be a problem in the Gnome-1.4 package... I'll load another window program to test this... or in XFree86-4.2 and I'll not bother to backup to XFree86-4.1.1 -- just live with the problems..

Does it affect all machines?
Can you find files with strange dates (especially future ones)? |

It is a system integrity verifier and alert system, default instalaltion notifies you of any file on your system that was modified, timestamped, removed, renamed, etc.

chkrootkit is an excellent tool for checking if there is a root kit installed on your box.
