Hello,

I suspect someone hijacked a root process, downloaded master.passwd, ran
cracker (or something like that) on it and gained complete access to one of
my systems.

I'm running FreeBSD 2.2.2 RELEASE with the latest sendmail, bind, mail que
software (qpop)...

I need to know how they gain access to a root process so I can try it and
patch up the hole there.

Please don't tell me to reinstall, I'll do that when I've understood the
access path.

Thanx (and HELP!!!)
Randy Katz
