[linux-help] Re: deleting hidden directory and files

Personal Experience:
Use find / -nouser -o -nogroup. This command will help you find a bunch of
these little 'gotchas'. To remove the directory you list here, do an 'rm -rf
'/usr/man/man1/.. '(note the space after the two dots). You may also find a
directory whose name is three spaces, which can be removed by using the
single-quotes as well.

I guess I've been 'hacked'.  Now I need help deleting some peculiar looking
files.  I am no linux expert.  I have found and deleted some but the
following
is a problem.  I have found a directory with the following 'name'  (please
note
I have included the parenthesis but every character, space is part of the
name)

"/usr/man/man1/..  /.dir"

this 'directory contains the following files:
/usr/man/man1/..  /.dir/snif
/usr/man/man1/..  /.dir/klog
/usr/man/man1/..  /.dir/crush
/usr/man/man1/..  /.dir/create
/usr/man/man1/..  /.dir/s
/usr/man/man1/..  /.dir/w
/usr/man/man1/..  /.dir/log
/usr/man/man1/..  /.dir/sc
/usr/man/man1/..  /.dir/sc/ben
/usr/man/man1/..  /.dir/sc/ben.c
/usr/man/man1/..  /.dir/sc/core
/usr/man/man1/..  /.dir/sc/osscan
/usr/man/man1/..  /.dir/sc/pscan.c
/usr/man/man1/..  /.dir/sc/scan
/usr/man/man1/..  /.dir/sc/wus
/usr/man/man1/..  /.dir/chipsul

Please note: I DO NOT wish to delete my entire /usr/man/man1 directory (I
hope
you understand why).

thanks in advance,
