Well...we got hacked. I was a little lax in the security following the firewall crash and, well, some butthead from Haifa, Israel got a shell on the Linux box. I've plugged the holes and eliminated the threat, and reported said butthead to his ISP (not a very intelligent script kiddie...didn't know how to cover his tracks real well), but I really need to get some firewall protection in here...

In any case, the butthead initiated a DoS Attack from my box which basically kept all traffic from coming in out out of the network here. So, you might have noticed some downtime between 2245 and 2330 PST.

I'll keep my eye on this more closely to be sure it doesn't happen again. Sorry for the inconvenience.
