hi, this is kinda broad...say you've inherited 5 ( R.H. linux ) machines. all of which have been on for a year, not firewalled and not backed up. management has a "ain't broke don't fix" mentality. i guess, what would you do? how would you be sure there are no trojans, bots etc...chkrootkit and so on, i suppose, but how reliable will the results be? how can i be sure there isn't a key-logger in the kernel. you can't simply firewall them off and leave them for dead. legal action can be taken against the company in the event of a break-in and subsequent attacks on other companies. and on and on. any ideas? h .. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
