 | | | Possible exploit, or a normal result of upgrading to update 4? | Possible exploit, or a normal result of upgrading to update 4? 2004-12-22 - By Richard R. Danielson
Back
I had four entries in my secure.log entry tonight:
......userdel[5220]: delete user `named'
......userdel[5220]: remove group `named'
......groupadd[5229]: new group: name=named, gid=25
......useradd[5230]: new user: name=named, uid=25, gid=25, home=/var/named,
shell=/sbin/nologin
This happened sometime about the same time as my successful (finally!)
upgrade to update 4. I had been trying for the past day to complete the
upgrade and it wasn't until the full file list was available that I could
complete the procedure.
Is this activity with the 'named' user and group a normal occurrence related
to the update? If not, does anyone have advice as to what happened and what
I should do to fix things? Thanks in advance.
