I wish to thank everyone for such a quick response for my problem. As I have stated before, the FreeBSD community is one of the best to keep each other informed and offer help to others. I finally deleted the hidden file by using the "" marks. I then changed permissions on the pub directory to read only. I checked my logins and had at one time over 12 people trying to download the pirated proogram....it was nothing more than a game by the way. I guess the pirateer realized that I had caught them and informed their buddies, probably on IRC since there was a suddden rash of trying to downlaod the program. Now I know its sounded strange but somehow while the hackers were logged into FTP, no one else could use FTP. Everyone was getting permission denied messages. After I deleted the file, FTP started working just fine. Thanks for letting me know about mozilla being used by Netscape. I was so diswrought over this incident that I guess I wasn't thinking straight. It is a scare that someone can go into your systme and hide a file from you. I knew it wasn't FreeBSD itself that was hacked into because it is a very secured program. So now I will scour my users' files and see if there is a reference to that file on any of their pages. I somehow suspect it is one of my customers being the culprit. Again thanks all for the quick answers. FBSD is still the best around. Kudos! > > > > >
