Can anybody else with a Linux box test the above command?

On my FC4 machine running 2.6.16-1.2111_FC4:

uid=26(postgres) gid=26(postgres) groups=26(postgres)
context=user_u:system_r:unconfined_t

That's what I'd expect.  David's box appears to be behaving oddly,
which could be signs of tampering if he has indeed been hacked.  If
that's happened then commands like "ls" and "ps" can't be trusted.

Can anybody think of a way for David to be seeing the behavior he's
seeing that doesn't involve a tampered-with system?

It's probably worthwhile to get a copy of chkrootkit and/or rkhunter and run them to see if there is a problem. Might also be worthwhile to run the ps and ls from the install CD to see if there are any suprising results.
