This could well mean that your system has been cracked. These
programs are frequently changed in common root exploits. You can
run ``rpm -V packagename'' to check for package corruption:
The command ``rpm -qf /bin/egrep'' will show the package name to
which /bin/egrep belongs. A lazy way to handle this is:
rpm -V `rpm -qf /bin/egrep`
rpm -V `rpm -qf /bin/hostname`
The most common reason these programs don't run after a root
exploit is that the cracker has replaced them with binaries from
another distribution and the binaries are looking for shared
libraries that are not on the cracked system.
