Howdy all,

I just noticed something funky in my error_log from this morning:

CODE

sh: line 1: /usr/bin/wget: Permission denied

chmod: failed to get attributes of `bindz': No such file or directory

sh: line 1: ./bindz: No such file or directory

... these three lines repeated for over 600 times!...

Now it looks to me like the chmod'd wget is doing it's job and not allowing just anybody to access it.

My question is, what is "bindz"? I can't seem to find anything on Google or on here about it but something was trying to access it pretty intently.

Any ideas?

Run `updatedb` then `locate bindz`. See where that script is and what it does.

bindz isn't a friendly script. Good thing you got the 700 wget
