  • Renamed / Disappearing hostconfig file

    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?
