Should I change my password?
My root password is a small word. I don't know if this makes any
difference or is appropriate but when I type in the command "users", it
will list the same user 3 to 7 times. Other weird stuff has happened
like my clock changing to way different times. Also there is a user rpc
pointing to /sbin/portmap and a user 1000 which I did not create.
If I have been cracked into I would never know probably. Also the reason
why I am bringing this to your attention is because I am backing up some
sensitive code with encryption to yahoo.com and hotmail.com email
accounts. I have dialup and I can email up to 10MB.
I have a separate gateway/firewall (in.thesame.net) but I forgot the
user name and password. It was setup with openna.com security procedures
about four years ago. Also I am thinking that security is a waste of
time but I would like to back up my sensitive code in a secure fashion.
Yours,
JAson
