I just received the following letter:

From: John Stange <buildingat_private>
Subject: util-linux compromised?
I grabbed util-linux-2.9g yesterday from win.tue.nl, and discovered a
section of login.c that appears to send the host and uid of the user to a
hotmail address. I imagine this isn't a standard feature. :> Given that
the tcp wrappers archive was backdoored on that same server recently, you
might want to comb over the rest of your stuff as well, if any of it's
yours.

and indeed, util-linux-2.9g had been replaced by a trojan version.
Unfortunately this means that everything from ftp.win.tue.nl
must be regarded as suspect for the moment.
I put a correct util-linux-2.9g.tar.gz back, with md5sum
ab409a6ac5a775a4b04b8e27f6c86933 util-linux-2.9g.tar.gz
but of course, for the time being, nothing on this machine can be trusted.
