Quoting Grant <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
If I wasn't hacked, this kind of strange behavior would have to be a hardware or filesystem problem right? What are the best ways to check for that? Just fsck?
dmesg, /var/log/syslog and /var/log/messages. Look for IDE or SATA timeouts, or kernel panics.
also look for entries where is says eth0 has entered promiscuous mode - that's a sure fire sign you've been hacked.. unless you're running a virtual machine with a bridge, or your own packet sniffer/traffic monitor - like ntop.
run memtest86 from the install CD boot prompt. Let it run for a few hours. Check the results.
