# 15  
Old 03-21-2019
What you have shown us in the attachments to post #14 is that:
  1. The user root owns several files of varying sizes located in the directory named var/log or one of its subdirectories. All of these files are readable and executable by anyone and writeable by root. If these are log files, having them be executable is strange.
  2. And, at some point in time you typed the string uname -a. onto your string and took a screenshot of it.
Neither of the above answer any of the questions that have been asked.

We have asked for information that we need to be able to help you. Since you refuse to provide answers to the vast majority of our questions we have to assume that you don't want our help.

Bumping up posts asking us to help you when you refuse to provide us with the information we need to help you is a waste of everyone's time. Please provide answers to the questions that you have been asked. We want to help you, but we can't help you if you won't help us help you. Smilie

NAME
gshadow - shadowed group file DESCRIPTION
/etc/gshadow contains the shadowed information for group accounts. This file must not be readable by regular users if password security is to be maintained. Each line of this file contains the following colon-separated fields: group name It must be a valid group name, which exist on the system. encrypted password Refer to crypt(3) for details on how this string is interpreted. If the password field contains some string that is not a valid result of crypt(3), for instance ! or *, users will not be able to use a unix password to access the group (but group members do not need the password). The password is used when a user who is not a member of the group wants to gain the permissions of this group (see newgrp(1)). This field may be empty, in which case only the group members can gain the group permissions. A password field which starts with an exclamation mark means that the password is locked. The remaining characters on the line represent the password field before the password was locked. This password supersedes any password specified in /etc/group. administrators It must be a comma-separated list of user names. Administrators can change the password or the members of the group. Administrators also have the same permissions as the members (see below). members It must be a comma-separated list of user names. Members can access the group without being prompted for a password. You should use the same list of users as in /etc/group. FILES
