Mamo,

Check the focus-linux list.  There is a discussion going on right now about
this same thing.  It looks like a trojan.

Hi everybody,

Do you know of a rootkit, or something like that, that install this
line in /etc/inittab:
ld:345:respawn:/usr/sbin/ksyslogd         ?!?

The system is a RedHat 6.2

Thanks in advance
 mamo                          mailto:mamo () ductape net
