I'm throwing out the system drive. I bought a new drive for $50. The data for my VM's is on a separate raid disk(s). I'll check that out after I set up the new system disk, which may take awhile due to other commitments.
My old system is turning into George Washington's axe.

Before I powered down, while looking through the system logs on my poor hacked computer, I noticed it was running chronyd, because it complained. It is an old Fedora 13 system. It runs ntpd. That's bad.
But, on the VM and different box I am on on now, running Fedora 33, I get:
[gary@entertain Mail]$ man -k date date: nothing appropriate. [gary@entertain Mail]$ man date [gary@entertain Mail]$ man man
Where man date returns a man page. And according to the man page for man:
man -k printf Search the short descriptions and manual page names for the keyword printf as regular expression. Print out any matches. Equivalent to apropos printf.
Obviously man -k doesn't work.
I've been noticing more and more cruft like this. All kinds of things, especially at the command line, where you can see, are broken.
I'm temporarily working from my entertainment system.
In reading so far, it looks like this is some kind of SSH key attack. Makes me wonder why the default permissions in .ssh are what they are. I must be missing somehting because the articles seem to call the .pub file the private key. One even had a graphic with xxx.pub circled, to show me where the private key is.
