Doesn't seem to be any new users here, and nothing else seems to be happening. It only happens in multi-user mode, so my guess is some service is not working right. Jones D \(ISaCS\) writes: > Not as likely as it would be if you had a permanent connection to > the net, but still possible. >

It is not. However, I've made an interesting discovery. When I put my linux system into single user mode, this never happens. It is therefore something in multi-user mode doing this, but I don't know what. On Wed, 24 Nov 1999, Gordon Messmer wrote: > Jacob Schmude wrote: > > Funny thing is that

I don't think that's the case as this is a home system with only 3 users, 4 if you include root. On Wed, 24 Nov 1999, Frederic Herman wrote: > While you're at it, check to see if you have any new user's you don't > know about. I've seen a server break-in where the first clue was the > TERM bein

That is their default. Also rpm didn't find anything wrong with the termcap package. Either linuxconf did something, or it doesn't like the linux term type anymore and won't work right with it. Funny thing is that all my config utils went crazy at the same time. What package holds terminfo? Perhap

While you're at it, check to see if you have any new user's you don't know about. I've seen a server break-in where the first clue was the TERM being set to dumb. The /bin/login file had been changed and the cracked version set the TERM that way. Hope it's not the case. Fred Gordon Messmer wr
