But Selinux, I have disabled! and further, if someone is on my machine,
there is no other change except this one and by doing this one a net zero
percentage of benefit he/she would be getting! But I don't know if my
machine has been compromised or not but I never desire that and as far as my
intellectual exists, it is not being compromised.
Given what you posted, I have no idea why your system is receiving yum -y instead of yum
and you being prompted for permission to install.
And with that information, no your system does not appear to be compromised. However,
might I suggest running with SeLinux in permissive mode? That way you will receive alerts
when your system is 'touched' by someone other than you?
