If you are so confident, why asking here? 1) Try memtest, it's a good idea. 2) Unplug you box from the net, to avoid more corruption 3) Check the syslog about disk errors 4) Check colocs/friends/family for any acces to your box 5) Tell us more about software installed, especially non Debian packaged software. 6) If you are creationist, ask God ;) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I will do checks today just need to buy cdrom first. I will report memtest86+, fsck and chkrootkit results this evening. Kernel is current squeeze kernel. Filesystem is ext3. AFAIK ext3 is quite stabe now. Today i found addidtionaly hidden files in /etc ..passwd.swn and similar .p.* file tells that they are vim swap files, but inside they also contain keyboard logs (among other data). > What was the outcome of your investigation into the previous situation? The prevoius situation happens on the providers virtual hosting, so I can not do a lot. Perfromed nmap from outside, chkrootkit from inside with no results. -- Sergey -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

I am not confident and I will do this tests (just need to buy cdrom first), just expressed my opinion on this. I found also yesterday swp files with keyboard logs (see my other mail). > 1) Try memtest, it's a good idea.

Since i upgraded to squid I did not install something special. Before, in lenny i did compile, packaged and installed several packages like openttd with highres graphics patch, mozilla and its dependencies from testing, also adobe flash from debian-non free and nvidia from debian non-free are installed. That is all I remember right now. > 6) If you are creationist, ask God ;) Will try, good idea :) -- Sergey -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

From: Sergey Spiridonov on 25 Jul 2010 14:00 Hi I ran memcheck 4.0, it showed no problem. Unfortunately I can not use knoppix to mount and check my partitions with fsck and chkrootkit, bevause latest knoppix (6.2.1) for whatever reason does not include cryptsetup. :( -- Best regards, Sergey Spiridonov -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Knoppix is just godly because it includes a lot of tools that you will want to repair your system, but you can of course, build the same thing using any liveCD if you so choose. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
