Thanks. Time.... whats that? hehehe
During the slow down, the Network Tecks needed us to drop the firewall briefly to eliminate that as the problem.... even though I insisted it was not.
During that brief period of time, access was gained, and backdoors where insrted. Most where found, and eliminated. But as a security precaution, the main hard drive was whiped, and restored. That is really the only way to be sure the backdoors are completely gone.
We do complete backups, so data loss is very minimal.
The security measures where then put back in place. It will go down one more time for a reboot when the new kernel is compiled. That should be shortly.
Many hours where spent tracking the point of entry, as well as the assholes IP's. Pardon my language... long day. I expect the machine to go down again within 10-15 minutes..... and then reboot.
You guys sould all be out having fun anyhow. Some of us stay glued to monitors and bang our heads.
I'm OK now....
