But how did the +i attribute get set in the first place, and how did the
username/group get changed?
Mark, there really is a strong reason why several of us responders to your
posting in comp.os.linux.security told you to expect that you've been
0wn3d. Those changes only happen by intent, or if you have someone with
access who is playing without having a clue to what they are doing. Either
one is bad news.
