	So this is one you can get from MegaSleaze users? What's
to do about it? Is there an rpm somewhere?

From [a linux user in TX]

There is a notice posted at
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/linux.simile.html

about a new virus called linux.simile that activates on the 17th
of march and September.  With a destructive payload this one
could be positively nasty.  It infects both windows and elf
binaries.  Since ELF is an almost standard Unix binary format
well you get the idea.

There's probably something new out there.
