Security Problem

[kevc978]

I do not know how to resolve this, nor do i know how it occured.

It seems that my root password has been changed.

Su-ing into root and entering the correct pass i have used since installing FC5 shows 'su: incorrect password'

Is there any way i can trace when or if the password was changed and is there anyway, except reinstalling that i can fix this?

Process Table shows an unknown process called "MirkForce" using 52% of resources, yet i have no idea what it is.

Thanks

Google for MirkForce. It doesn't look good. I would reinstall and choose a different password for all your accounts.

is there any way you can explain how this happened?

There is a way to reset your root password. I would google the forum. It involves getting into init 1 I believe, so you should not have to re-install.
