 |
|
I installed ntop to see how it works. Only got around to running it once. I now discover that about 480 files in .kde3.5 have had their group ownership changed to "ntop". Also the top level directories have permissions 755 instead of 700 like other users. I was the only user that ran ntop. Any idea why this happened? Security issue?
It also happened to all the files in /var/tmp/portage/app-office/openoffice-3.0.0/work/ooo/build/ooo300-m9 and I guess only root would have created those. |

find var/tmp/portage/app-office/openoffice-3.0.0/work/ooo/build/ooo300-m9 -user ntop -exec chown user:group {} \;
That should change the ownership of those specific files. |

I decided to just delete that directory and try ooo-source over again. The last time I tried to compile it, it failed multiple times, so I switched to ooo-bin.
I accidentally fixed the kde group ownerships by | Code: | | mv .kde3.5 .kde3.5.save |
followed by | Code: | | cp -r .kde3.5.save .kde3.5 |
All the group ownerships are back to normal, or closer to it.
I really wonder how it happened, though. It seemed like ntop was making a backdoor. |
