Description Rusty Coleman 2002-03-25 23:12:06 EST

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.0; Windows 98; DigExt)

Description of problem:
sendmail has collected info about my server, ie speed, hard drive, processor, 
users (all users, and the encrypted passwords), memory, and even a ping to 
yahoo.com and emailed it out to a hacker.  The only ports that are available to 
the public on this machine are 22 (ssh), 25(smtp), 21(ftp), 80(web), and 110
(pop3, im using QPopper).  I can forward a copy of the bounced email (the 
hacker tried to send to two bad addresses *stupid* :)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

someone here.  Please send me an address to send it to.

bugzilla is only used for tracking bug-reports in rpm packages, but for
for security audits of individual installations. I am closing this now.

Thanks,
