<p class=MsoNormal> One of my agricultural customers
thinks somebody was trying to hack into their Linux (filepro version 5.6.??)
server last night. Their firewall paged their systems guy at 2:00 AM this
morning, telling him that there were thousands of login attempts going on, so
he shut down their servers. Of course, they changed all their passwords
this morning and so forth before bringing the system back up, and the system is
off of their network right now, so I can’t log into it and see what is
going on.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> This morning, whenever they go into
a filepro file using an index, they are immediately kicked back to the filepro main
menu. They select #4, Index Selection, then index “A”, or “1”,
and then type in a value to search for. As soon as they press “Esc”,
they get kicked back to the main menu.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> I had them remove the indexes from
one of their files, run a freechain, then rebuild just one automatic index, but
they still get kicked out. I had them remove the automatic index and
build just one demand index, but they still get kicked out. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> I had them look through a whole
file using record number, browsing all the way to the end, but they couldn’t
see any obvious corruption. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> I also had them run “setperms”.
I don’t know if IUA requires a /tmp directory or some other thing that’s
no longer there. The index rebuilding process seems to run normally.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> They say that all of their filepro files
act doing this.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> Unless any of you have a
suggestion, I am going to try to talk them through: 1) reinstalling filepro
and, if that fails, 2) restoring their whole server from their BRU backups. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thanks!<o:p></o:p></p>
