weird symptom - possible infection
Folks,
I'm in the process of building two new servers - each is in a different
state of software installation.
The thing is, I've had a weird symptom that's now occurred twice:
- at 12:02pm, BOTH servers spontaneously rebooted
- this also happened exactly two weeks ago (12:02pm, 14 days ago)
- as far as I can tell, there's nothing at all suspicious in the log
files on either machine
The first time, I immediately suspected a power glitch - but I'm in a
datacenter for reliable power, UPCs per rack, and there was no
indication of a power event.
This time, the exactness of the two week period makes this look like
either a lurking bug in some piece of software, or a virus infection.
Machine 1 is pretty bare bones - not much beyond the basic Sarge
distribution.
Machine 2 has a lot more on it - I've been building it up - Apache,
Postfix, working on amasid/etc. right now...
Does this look like anything anybody has come across in the past? Any
suggestions as to where to start looking would be really helpful.
Thanks very much,
Miles Fidelman
