Hi, I'm brand new to Linux, although I know Solaris. I was working on my brand new Red Hat 6.2 Linux machine (soon to be my web server, email server, etc.) when I noticed an email returned to root. It was from Yahoo, saying that the destination's email box was full. The subject of the email was my IP address! Knowing that I hadn't sent any email, I did 'grep yahoo /bin/*' and found that email address in login, ps, ls, and netstat. I've been hacked, right?! 1) What can I do to replace those files? I spent many hours configuring box, so I don't want to start from scratch. 2) Is there anywhere else I should look for problems? 3) Is there any particular hole in RedHat 6.2 that I need to address. (It was preconfigured on the machine I bought from Penguin, in December.)
