Hello all       

This afternoon, in my continuing quest for understanding, I ssh'ed
from my laptop to aeis.tv which is on my desktop 9.1 box serving to
the net on apache2.

I used root and the root password and immediately had the run of the
box.

It scared me enough to zoom to the firewall and close all the ports
I had opened for the server.

Now I'm tucked in behind the firewall contemplating.

1.  Do I need a dedicated box to serve aeis.tv so I don't have to
worry about the rest of my files?

or

2.  (More likely) What did I do wrong that would allow this access?

Still don't have the mailserver working but probably because I
started at the wrong end and didn't know what questions to ask (here
or google).  I'll go back to it when I get this access thing
straight in my mind.

Thanks for the help, as always.
