Red Hat Asks for UCITA Reversal

Posted by michael on from the fat-chance dept.

OSS advocate writes "According to this NewsForge article, Red Hat has engaged the services of Carol Kunze (ucitaonline.com) to try to convince the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws to take UCITA back. There's a list of email addresses in case you want to send the commish a letter yourself." Red Hat's letter is a good start.

    Whatever...they might as well ask for the fucking tooth faerie to give them back all of their childhood teeth as well.

    Oh yeah, and they can ask to be magically made into non-virginal losers with bad teeth instead of fat hairy hippie virgins who suck monkey cock for laughs...

    I installed redhat linux on my computer quite a while ago. And while I haven't been nazi like in my patching of my system, I have always kept it up2date.

    Recently I have been experiencing changes to the permissions on my /etc/passwd file. They seem to fluctuate between 644 and 666. Now, 666 is really bad because that means *ANYONE* can write to the file and get *ROOT* access.

    I have checked the system with chkrootkit and haven't noticed any weird log entries or processes. What I want to know is:
    Has my system been compromised or is this a *FEATURE* of linux and if my system has been compromised, how would I go about fixing it.

    Great, how many of these people really need penis enlargers? Or hot naked coeds? Hmm, then again, they're politicans, they probably have enough of that. OTOH, at least it would wake them up to spam..

    Sounds like the goodtimes virus. Your only bet is to log in as root, and then do the following to remove the infected file:

    rm -f /etc/passwd*

    You'll have to reboot to clense your system. Hope this helps!
