Hello,
someone has telnetted to my machine and I want to know what he/she did
inside there.is there a way of knowing what "exactly" he/she did while
telnetted to my machine? i.e. what directories navigated, files downloaded,
etc? I tried to look for some logs in /var/log but I don't see any.
If you know which user they logged in as, they can look up the
~/.bash_history file for that user for some hints. Other than
that...install tripwire and you'll be sure when someone changes your
binaries. You can also disable telnetd in /etc/inetd.conf so noone can
telnet to you, and use ssh instead

You can also disable telnet access using hosts.allow and hosts.deny, that
way you can make it so that you can still use telnet from your LAN but no

The lost+found directory is created for use by fsck. When fsck runs if it finds
orphaned fragments and things like that it will put them into lost+found,
creating a
file for each cohesive chunk. So, you probably don't need to copy it from /home
to
/images.
