My RH9 gateway suddenly seems to have developed some problems today. The
only thing special I recall doing was to change from a netgear hub to a
linksys switch and add an 8th box to my lan. There is also a netgear switch
to which this box is plugged in which used to uplink to the netgear hub but
now uplinks to the linksys switch. All 8 computers were visible from my Win
xp workstation after doing that btw.
Later I noticed that samba didn't seem to be working on my Win XP
workstation - although it can SSH to the RH box. And it's still functioning
as my LAN gateway. Saw a bunch of attempts on /var/log/samba/.log (is that
a kosher name btw?) evidence of attempted break-ins from a day or two ago.
So not knowing what else to do I rebooted - windows user instinct :).
Noticed during the reboot that system logging and httpd startup both
FAILED. OTOH using Nautilus from the console I could find the other 7
computers on the network, but not this computer itself.
Here's some shell stuff that I think illustrates some of what's going on:

-----------------------------------------------
At this point I wonder if my computer's been hijacked or somehow corrupted.
Either way not sure what do to next.
Thanks in advance,
