Was Anita compromised? Was Anita updated? Was Anita changed? Was the author of Anita contacted? Anita for windows? Anita for the web? Is Anita connecting to sshd on the linux host in the same way that Putty does? Can you login and 'su -' to root...... If so you can look at the logs? Do the logs make sense? dsa_verify failed for server_host_key tells me that a key was changed not that the host was compromized... If you update the key the old key needs to be removed.... F Is it possible that the night shift upgraded to ssh2 or added it? Is it possible that the night shift added (incorrectly) their own key? -- php, perl, java, etc... As others indicated -- IF it has been HACKED SHUT IT DOWN, pull the plug. The legal liability of keeping a hacked system up and running is large. Are the keys in the .ssh2 dir telling you anything.... If .ssh2 does not contain your keys -- rename/remove it. Do the keys in the .ssh2 dir belong to anyone... someone you can call. Sometimes the comments are informative and id a host or person. It might be that someone knows what was done in your absence. Who else has pass words or access to the systems? -- T o m M i t c h e l l Found me a new hat, now what? -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
