One of my sarge boxes has now twice done the same extremely weird thing. I'm using a text console and up pops output from /bin/loadkeys: "Loading /tmp/kmap/blankmap". The keyboard then ceases to respond apart from allowing me to switch VTs. X is still fine so I can reactivate the keyboard by loading /etc/console/default.kmap.gz from an xterm.
In /tmp I find a directory "kmap" containing two files, "blankmap" containing the keyboard-cabbaging map (attached) and "origmap" containing output from /usr/bin/dumpkeys describing the original map (/etc/console/default.kmap.gz). Directory and files are owned by root and are world-readable. They were created immediately before the blank map was loaded. There's nothing in /var/log/syslog at the time the files were written. chkrootkit and rkhunter return clean results. The second time it happened (today) I was ssh-ing to a remote machine. The first time was a while back now and I can't remember what I was doing. Google finds no references to the two files.
