Standard stuff, near as I can tell. I don't have another AS3 box
I can stare at to compare. It looks identical to my FC3 system-auth
file. It does no network lookups for authentication. No NIS, or LDAP
or similar.
A root kit detector is not something I have run yet, but I've been
wondering if a compromise has taken place.
I didn't check DNS, but then I haven't changed any DNS settings in
more than 6 months.
