Oops; sorry about the line-length.
Hello,I'm running sarge.I rebooted this morning and root's bash history disappeared. I have a mail from a chkrootkit run by cron just before the reboot, and this doesn't flag it up, but a manual chkrootkit run just after the reboot did - that's how I discovered it. I can't see anything suspicious i

Dear all,
My system is broken following yesterday's security kernel-image update. I am
able to boot in using a rescue disk, but am unsure what to do next. The
obvious thing is to simply do an apt-get update and upgrade and let the bad
kernel get repaced by the one I believe the security team ha

Hello,
Is it possible for the unwitting to install a kernel-image downloaded
from official debian sources that hasn't been patched for the recent
exploit, or can all the currently downloadable images (and kernel

Hello all,
Forgive me if this is cretinous beyond compare, but I am confused. I am
on a standalone machine, and never use SSH, and yet there is an
SSH-agent in my /tmp. Is this normal? I have tried to put my mind at
rest by reading the man pages, but couldn't convince myself that the
thing sho

I'm a novice, so if this is all nonsense or I'm missing something easy

I'm still using more or less what I installed from Knoppix 3.2, with
