that only works when you are presuming that the host was not hacked already
because i would clear those logs when i hacked a system :)
but indeed it's a try,
If you remain unsure, it is best to reinstall the system to be sure that a
fresh
and newly updated (yeah update it when installed :)) system is not
compromised at that
time..
loads of work, but it gives you some relief to know that it's clean.
GoodLuck!
