of course! <slap>

it's a perl w0rm that was uploaded last night, now killed. Now to determine 
how it got in.

I found some output in the main apache error log that looks like wget was used 
to download a shellbot. But I can't figure out how wget was called, may be 
some PHP exec() call that is unchecked. 

But I can't find it on the system yet or the data files it uses.

chkrootkit says all is clear.

mod_security is now being installed, belatedly. This server has only been up 1 
week, sheesh.

thanks
Sam



PS here is the link to the shellbot that was used, in case anyone is curious. 
I break up the URL to protect the innocent:

http://usua<BREAK>rios.lycos.es/<BREAK>w0rms/info.txt

have searched it and don't find anything special on the main security sites. 
Is it new?
