Should I change my password? |

My root password is a small word. I don't know if this makes any |
| 4 |
difference or is appropriate but when I type in the command "users", it |
| 5 |
will list the same user 3 to 7 times. Other weird stuff has happened |
| 6 |
like my clock changing to way different times. Also there is a user rpc |
| 7 |
pointing to /sbin/portmap and a user 1000 which I did not create. |

If I have been cracked into I would never know probably. Also the reason |
| 10 |
why I am bringing this to your attention is because I am backing up some |
| 11 |
sensitive code with encryption to yahoo.com and hotmail.com email |
| 12 |
accounts. I have dialup and I can email up to 10MB. |

I have a separate gateway/firewall (in.thesame.net) but I forgot the |
| 15 |
user name and password. It was setup with openna.com security procedures |
| 16 |
about four years ago. Also I am thinking that security is a waste of |
| 17 |
time but I would like to back up my sensitive code in a secure fashion. |
