odd behaviour -- possibly security comprimised

thanks for the suggestions!

Another odd bit...

I wrote a cron script which scimmed the error and access logs every
morning and auto emailed any code red or *.exe attempts which came
within the domain to the appropriate security personel...  I just
discovered that my crontab was blown away sometime ago, and it looks
like 11/26 from the lack of tell-tail signs.  The logs reveiled some
interesting stuff.

Anyone know of some good sites to read up on Linux/HTTPD vulnerabilities
etc?

Thanks again.
