I work on campus where we have a public linux webserver and twice I have been called too be told that we were getting unusually high traffic on port 80. I was told that a virus, and then a root kit when I mentioned the word linux, must be the culprit and that I had to fix it or my port would be shut down. Upon the explanation that it was a web server and we use port 80 for web traffic I didn't hear from them again until the following fall semester (where I assume a new student took the position). -----Original Message----- From: TuxGirl <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: BYU Unix Users Group <[email protected]> Date: Sat, 03 Dec 2005 23:56:01 -0700 Subject: Re: [uug] BYU net authentication. > Interesting...

Doesn't appear to be happening in the cs dept at the moment, but I do know it has happened in the not-too-distant past (past couple weeks or so?) -------------------- BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ The opinions expressed in this message are the responsibility of their author.
