HELP: centos5 cant mkdir numeric directories

Posted by Snowman30, 12-30-2007, 03:44 AM

We have a weird issue on one of our centos 5 servers, running the 2.6.18-53.1.4.el5 kernel for some reason we cant mkdir any directories that are numerically named ie mkdir 5789 doesnt work alpha and alpha numeric work fine... ie mkdir ab567a Someone suggested the adore-ng rootkit was to blame but we have run ossec root check, rkhunter and chkrootkit and even run clamav over the drives and cant find anything nasty anyone have any ideas?
