Can you tell if the su file (/bin ?) has been changed? Years ago (I imagine
people are too advanced for this now) a hacker would move login, replacing
it with a script that did nothing more than look like login, trapping the
password and doing something nefarious with it, show a login failure, and
then call the real login to allow things to run normally.

Probably has nothing to do with these days and times, but I thought I'd toss
it out anyway.

Subject: [TCLUG] wierd rh8.0 behavior


I have a Redhat 8.0 box that recently started asking for the root
password twice when I "su -".

Any ideas?
