Sep 15 10:39:53 comp automount[15138]: >> mount: server:/home/.hidden failed, reason given by server: Permission denied Sep 15 10:39:53 comp automount[15138]: mount(nfs): nfs: mount failure server:/home/.hidden on /home/.hidden Sep 15 10:39:53 comp automount[15138]: failed to mount /home/.hidden
What is /home/.hidden? Why can't it be mounted? And, can I simply delete it? Basically, what is this error from and how can I stop it from occurring?
Thanks in advance for any help.
The name of the directory ".hidden" implies evil intent. See if you can find a check root kit package for Centos. Lock down your machine right away and start looking for modified RPMs.
I used rkhunter to check for what evil might be going on. The only thing it listed were 2 vulnerable apps that seem to just be "Old or patched version" (OpenSSL 0.9.7a and PHP 4.3.9). This doesn't seem like the problem (am I wrong?).
I realize that this is a basic question, but I'm a bit of a newbie. How do I go about looking for modified RPMs?
Thanks!
