I came across two files "ls" and "date" in an odd place with slightly
different permissions and different groups.  I'm running 4.6 with some stuff
backed up from 4.4.  It seems that I copied them from my old box.  I don't
think this box has been compromised.  Nothing other than port 80 and 25 have
ever been open, plus I keep a close watch on it with aide.  It's a new
install and I'm keeping it up-to-date.  But, I wonder if my old one was.  Do
you think these filenames are suspicious?  Do they have logical
explanations?

in /hd2/var/ftp/bin, I have:
---x--x--x  1 root  operator  298904 Jun 16 09:39 ls
---x--x--x  1 root  operator  185792 Jun 16 09:39 date

in /bin, I have:
-r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  298904 Jun 10 23:18 /bin/ls
-r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  185792 Jun 10 23:18 /bin/date

scsibox# which ls
/bin/ls
scsibox# which date
/bin/date

Also, I found this entry in /etc/passwd:
ftp:*:14:5::0:0:Anonymous FTP Admin:/hd2/var/ftp:/nonexistent

I took it out.  But, it sort of explains why I had /hd2/var/bin and
/hd2/var/etc directories.

TIA,
Darren
