Re: Strange file in my /etc



Hi Eamon,

I moved '-src' to 'src.bak' several days ago and rebooted my computer a few
times.  My system seems normal.....   Maybe it is caused by Snort?  I got an
e-mail from Leandro.  He asked me if I installed any IDS but he didn't
explain
what is thie file for.

Jimmy
