thats pretty scary

i already knew a few days ago that the webserver had been cracked due to an ssh
v1 exploit (btw, i hope everyone has "Protocol 2" set in /etc/ssh/sshd_config
unless they REALLY need v1), but i had no idea about FTP. at the time i reported
some broken links on the webpage, i was given a GPG signed list of md5sums on
the FTP server from a few months ago compared with a list from that day, and
everything matched.

scary,

cheers,
Sam
