For instance, create a directory as a mountpoint; put some files and directories in it, then mount an filesystem over it. I believe that still works in Linux. Another trick used to be to remove the actual ".." directory entry with an entry that really points off to another directory; this was called a 'hyperspace link'. I don't know if that still works, but it's an example of the kind of things crackers _can_ do to hide files and directories. -- Dave Ihnat ignatz@xxxxxxxxxx -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
