RE : {bb} Missing BBOUT

["FIGARO Nicolas" <nfigaro@effigie.fr>]

If you can do this, the best is to setup another bb server from scratch. 
( as you wrote in a previous e-mail, the bigbrother was installed by someone
else, right ?). 

If you can't change your server (too painfull to change all clients), you can extract 
the runbb.sh from bb-1.9c.tar.gz (http://www.bb4.org/dnld/bb-1.9c.tar.gz)

But as Phil wrote, perhaps runbb.sh isn't the only part of the bb directory that was modified.

Yes you are right, its runbb.sh and its 0 bytes.

So, the BBOUT file is not there. Please check the names on those 0 byte files. The correct name should be "runbb.sh" and not "bbrun.sh". There is a binary "bbrun" in the "bin" directory, but not a shell script of that name.

I may be paranoid but, if I found a BB server whose "runbb.sh" file was empty, I'd suspect that someone had broken into it and was trying to cover their tracks. I'd have to recommend that you re-install the OS (to eliminate root-kits) and then start with a clean install of BB. Remember to use different passwords, especially for the root user.

If possible, it can be helpful to start with a different machine. In that way, you can refer to the previous config and data until you're sure that everything is working correctly on the replacement machine.

Cheers, Phil.
