	Look at this. This is a rootkit. What is this file? :-) Probably the 
typical rootkit config file.

	The "strings" command was good at this, but I have seen lately some 
rootkits replacing the strings command. Truss seems to be safer, at 
least for now.

	Yes, something like that :-)

	If you "truss" commands like netstat, ps, etc, I am sure you will find 
similar operations. Look for open system calls with weird filenames or 
files in weird places, like above.




	Borja.
