Hi all,

     I have Fedora 5 and 6 installed on my machines. I strangely find
that I am often unable to login to the machine with my regular
password using ssh. Fortunately I have physical access to the machine,
which allows me to change the password back. Any idea what could be
the reason? Is it necessarily evidence of my machine being hacked
into, or could it also have something to do with my messing around
with ssh keys etc.? What should I do to protect against both
possibilities. In other words if it is a security breach, how do I
plug it and prevent the "hacker" from having continued access.

Use your backup data or potentially back it up now and do a good cross checking to make sure and then wipe off your system and install a more recent version of Fedora which is currently maintained.
