- Hi networld,
-
- some strange things happended to my system. In the evenening I polled
- as usual. The next time in the morning the core dumped!
-
- After taking a look at the system I found out:
-
- - On a lot of files and directories the owner information was gone!
- - the /etc/passwd file contained two blank lines
- - all uucp related files and directories had a new owner
- (one of the users of my system)
-
- Big surprise :-((
-
- After removing the blank lines and the user whon now owned all uucp
- files and shutting down, rebooting everything was ok again.
-
- Has this happend to anyone else?? I'd like to know what was going
- on....
-
- Regards Stephan
