Rick,

Speaking of backdoors, and I hope it's ok to ask this question here instead of starting another thread...

When I upgraded, I found files on my server that I had not seen before.

Those files are...

.bash_logout
.bash_profile
.bashrc
.gtkrc
.shadow

The files just looked suspicious to me. Since I don't know what they are, I renamed all of them before I started my upgrade. I haven't had any problems.

I know they are probably just standard linux/unix files, and I am probably showing grand and undiluted ignorance here... Could these have been some sort of backdoor or rootkit ?
