RE: virus detection
Don't mean to be rude but there ARE virusses for Unix. That's one of the BIG
myths out there. The nasa worm (also a 'virus') was NOT a virus ? Not in the
strict sense of the definition computer virus but tell that to Nasa.
Check out www.f-secure.com or any other AV company and you'll find some very
interesting feedback on Li/Uni/ux viral activities.
Greets,
Joris

there are no known virus for UNIX. sorry. You may have been bitten by
hardware failure, software bugs, your own accidental rm -rf, but a bug is
not
your problem.
If this machine is on the net directly, perhaps you were attacked?
