Re: [cobalt-developers] /var/log/messages process every 15 minutes



Thanks, I turned off telnet. I was told in the past that if you turned off telnet then ssh would also be shut down. However let it be know you are correct you can shut down telnet services and still run ssh. Thank you for your help. You saved me from a Hack I am sure...

Hi,

Sep 26 20:30:05 NAME telnetd[30969]: ttloop: read: Broken pipe


This would most likely be Active Monitor and the chance you've been
hacked is always there, but based on the above message I have no way of
saying. Do you get this message every 15 minutes?

Gerald was right: ditch telnet, get openssh. If you would rather not
rely on Sun/Cobalt to keep making up-to-date packages, head on over to
http://www.openssh.com, click Linux (which will lead you to the
'portable' section) and then find a suitable mirror. Get the RedHat 6.2
RPMS and do subscribe to the announce list.

HTH... Nico
