Re: Command 'su' is not working in virtual console
And in auth.log nothing appears. Also in other logs.
Only in
daemon.log:
Dec 16 21:01:42 n acpid: client 3039[0:0] has disconnected
Dec 16 21:01:43 n acpid: client connected from 3039[0:0]
Dec 16 21:01:43 n acpid: 1 client rule loaded
I ran rkhunter, but looks like fount nothing. Only warning about
/etc/init.d/hdparm.
But I reinstalled it and md5 checksum didn't change.
[21:06:14] Warning: Checking for possible rootkit strings [ Warning ]
[21:06:14] Found string 'hdparm' in file
'/etc/init.d/.depend.boot'. Possible rootkit: Xzibit Rootkit
[21:06:14] Found string 'hdparm' in file '/etc/init.d/hdparm'.
Possible rootkit: Xzibit Rootkit
The other file looks harmless and related to dependencies of boot scripts.
