> Arguhh!! I did call them but skeleton staff over weekend could not do
anything.. Server is still working, I've turned off telnet and ftp via the
GUI, which I stll seem to have control over. Only turning it on breifly when
I needed to do an update this evening. Mail is still working and I don't see
any damage to any sites yet... I will call them first light when the full
staff is there and can get on it for me... AARGUH!!

Wayne,
I *think* (but am not sure) that with the hacks you can still do the GUI
admin password trick and then get in through telnet. When you change the GUI
admin pw it also changes root's pw; so that's an option.  I'm pretty sure I
saw someone post that they couldn't get in through telnet after the hacks,
but a quick change to the admin's password let them get back in and verify
the file changes and stuff.

What's weird to me is that these hackers wouldn't disable this somehow. They
still leave web access up and running fine, which will allow you to break
back into your own machine (so to speak).
