What is this all about? I had my dock lock up on me so I
reboot via option key-restart. What happens? I'm presented
with a command line in single user mode. dmesg tells me
my hostconfig file is non existant. I reboot from my iPod
Video and find my hostconfig file has been renamed with a
"-" on the end so I rename it and all is fine. I reboot using
my internal hard drive, I run mc in a terminal window and
find my hostconfig file has disappeared all together. What
gives with the renaming & disappearing file? Is this a virus
or trojan of some sort?
