Hi gang,

Last night, my webserver machine (Mandrake 7.1) was "defaced".  The 
hacker got root access, and uploaded a script that went into every 
virtual host and replaced the index.htm(l) file with his own file.  His 
"defacement" included his email, and a link to his site: 
http://rsh.defacements.com

I sent the guy an email saying "thanks a lot pal... how did you do 
that?"  He replied:

I did the Mandrake-update thing, and updated wu-ftp, but it still is 
version 2.6.0(1).  I see there is a 2.6.1 rpm, I believe for version 
7.2.   I tried installing it, but it says it depends on XINTED.  I 
snagged that, but it says:
 /etc/init.d is needed by xinetd-2.1.8.9pre13-4mdk
        rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1 is needed by xinetd-2.1.8.9pre13-4mdk
        libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.2) is needed by xinetd-2.1.8.9pre13-4mdk
        rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1 is needed by xinetd-2.1.8.9pre13-4mdk 

I tried installing INITSCRIPTS (the /etc/init.d), but it says:
 /etc/init.d is needed by xinetd-2.1.8.9pre13-4mdk
        rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1 is needed by xinetd-2.1.8.9pre13
-4mdk
        libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.2) is needed by xinetd-2.1.8.9pre13-4mdk
        rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1 is needed by xinetd-2.1.8.9pre13-4mdk
[root@main /tmp]# rpm -ihv initscripts-5.27-38mdk.i586.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
        rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1 is needed by initscripts-5.27-38mdk
        rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1 is needed by initscripts-5.27-38mdk 

So... what can a 7.1 user do to get the wu-ftp 2.6.1???
