If you did not change the attributes of /usr/sbin to be immutable and create the file you may have a serious security issue. Taking the system off-line and checking with chkrootkit or other tools is recommended.

Normal attributes are:
[code]# lsattr -d /usr/sbin
----------I--e- /usr/sbin
[/code]

Try a google on [url=https://www.google.com/search?q=%22%2Fusr%2Fsbin%22+immutable+security+~hacked&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:unofficial&client=firefox-a]"/usr/sbin" immutable security ~hacked[/url]. Moving the thread to the Security forum.

If chattr is killed I know of no other way to change attributes. This server can not be trusted and may well be acting as a vector for attacking others. It should not be on-line.

ok i have some part of this set up


i installed new machine only to copy chattr file to my desktop rename it and upload it to infected machine

after that
[root@localhost usr]# lsattr -d sbin
suS-iadAc-I-- sbin
[root@localhost usr]# chattr -i sbin
Killed
[root@localhost usr]# chattr_my_file -i sbin
[root@localhost usr]# lsattr -d sbin
suS--adAc-I-- sbin
[root@localhost usr]# chattr_my_file -suSadAc sbin
[root@localhost usr]# lsattr -d sbin
----------I-- sbin
[root@localhost usr]# lsattr -d sbin
----------I-- sbin

also i have renamed old infected chattr file so it cant be used in it i have found this e mail address
mail -s 'rk attempt to remove' xqw019@gmail.com
so this e mail address is doing something if i try to run chattr command

how can i see if this server is acting as a spam dealer or something

Once more you should not attempt to use the compromised system. Back up data and user files, do a fresh install, and carefully and selectively restore only necessary files. Trying to recover the infected system can never be guaranteed, and constitutes a serious security risk. The gmail account should be reported to Google as being associated with a rootkit.
