Ok, so I'm still learning Linux. The past couple days I've been going through every directory and opening up the files to read what they contain. I've read quite a bit about remote access. At the time I didn't know that the remote access services were not installed by default. I was using the...
Thank you for your response Expirion

So I've been making it a habit of checking my logs on a daily basis to familiarize myself with what is normal so I can hopefully spot suspicious activity. Well last night after browsing the world wide web for hours and hours I decided to cd into my logs to see what they were talking about...
I know about that one. I was wanting to avoid having to remove/add symlinks. But I believe I found a solution. If I sudo gnome-logs in terminal it will open gnome-logs with admin rights and I'm able to view what I need. I am just unsure if this is the right way to do it? I appreciate your help...

A conky installation from a 3rd party repository. Yup. I knew better to use such a repository but conky had me amazed. Be careful what you download.
Oh yeah, I forget to mention, a day or 2 ago I was using a textbook that taught how to use entrusion detection tools to see if your system had been compromised. Well during my study I was using the passwd file and the casper file(sorry can't remember the exact names) so maybe I did something I...
I appreciate all your help. I rebooted and the test user disappeared and so did my login. I rebooted again and sure enough my login credentials we're missing. I was forced to manually enter my username and password when I never use auto login. I then entered my username and password and it...

Yes I can login. I was just truly caught off guard by seeing another login because I'm the only person that uses this box. When I got inside I immediately checked users and it has a Test user. I just rebooted and now I am unable to login....weird.
Ive been on my computer all day. I went to reboot and I noticed "test" is listed as a login option. I did not do anything knowingly that would enable such a feature. Should I be concerned?
