What the hell happened to me ?? Did someone hacked in ??

[Donovan]

Thats extremely strange.
I created a directory yesterday with a poll system in php.
This morning, I checked my site, and the directory and all the scripts that were inside was not there anymore !!!
Instead, there was a file that has the directory name and contained:


% ls-R -- filename database for kpathsea; do not change this line.
./:
.:
ChangeLog
aliases
bibtexc
ontext
doc
dvips
etex
fontname
fonts
ls-R
makeindex
metafont
metapost
mft
omega
pdfetex
pdftex
source
tex
texconfig
updates.dat
web2c
xdvi
./bibtex:
bib
bst

./bibtex/bib:
ams
base
./bi


What on EARTH happened ? What does these lines of text in the files means ??

(I'm on linux debian)

Thanks,
Donov

I have no idea, but, kpathsea is a library for searching out filenames, and is available widely on the 'net, there are RPM's of it, it seems. The ls-R (recursive) makes it seem that indeed that's what's happening, but as for the rest of it, i dunno : Ray

although i could be wrong, it looks like a root-kit...
