CdRom dirve automatically opens by itselft - hacked ??

[Trekkie]

Hi,

I did a clean install on my RH 7.3 (behind SMC router). I'm hosting my personal web and email server. Since few minutes after installation, my CDrom drive automatically opens. My password is alpha-numeric so it should be hard to crack. The systems dose not look like it has been altered. The router should block most hacks...




How can I preventing the Cdrom from automatically opening?

Thank you in advance.

T.k.

check your log files (/var/log/messages), the system may actually be resetting the drive

jaymzter, I have checked the logs but nothing. Cdrom opens when I not near the computer...sometime middle of the night.

T.k.

I think you have spooks. But just in case I'm wrong, can you post your /etc/fstab file here? Or just check to make sure that the cd-rom is not set to auto mount. Did the install program correctly identify your drive? If you can't remember, you can type "dmesg" at the command line and it will list a bunch of info. Your drive info is in there somewhere.

also helpful to note that your system only logs these types of messages if your syslog daemon is running. It should be, but ya never know, especially if you think its been hacked.

here's my /etc/fstab

LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1
LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2
none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
/dev/hda3 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom udf,iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,owner,kudzu 0 0

CDRom is empty..."netstat -an" does not show any connection right after cdrom opens. syslog daemon seem to be running

Thanks for your advance
