A little concerned about this report in the 'Protect Center' of the Protector module :



Anyone know what that means?

Fairly sure that the IP address relates to someone in New York, Clifton Park, USA.

I can't help with the error, but I'm curious as to the /etc/passwd part of the error. Especially that long path.

/etc/passwd is the default location where Linux stores information about user logons. By default on most modern distros, the passwords are encrypted. The password is unencrypted using a special hash. It's not easy to do, but you can crack the /etc/passwd file. But that would take one skilled Linux user to pull off.

That's the bit I was worried about as well!! I'm guessing that maybe he's tried to get the password of the main web server that my site's stored on.

Think I will post at GIJOE's site to see if he can help.

Anyone else have any ideas?
