I checked the FAQ and searched all available posts and RT_M, but
I can't find any info on hushlogin as mentioned in CERT-92:14 -->

       2. If the check from (A.1) indicates that your binaries have been
	   modified, check for the presence of a password
	   log file.  Since the name of the logfile is often changed,
	   the name of the file should be obtained using the
	   "strings(1)" command on the Trojan login, uucpd, or telnet
	   binary.  Examples of filenames used on other systems are:

                               "/usr/spool/. " (dot space)
                               "/var/spool/secretmail/.l"
                               "/var/spool/secretmail/.log"
                               "/var/spool/secretmail/.tty"
                               "/var/spool/secretmail/.lock"
                               "/usr/tmp/.log"
                               "/usr/spool/uucp/.sys"
                               "/usr/spool/uucppublic/.hushlogin"

What is a .hushlogin file and why does my system have an empty 
one in /usr/spool/uucppublic?

thanks.
