i looked this virus up, it said to look for perl scripts in the tmp dir and i don't have any of the ones the sites i found said to look for. i know this server is a bit behind on updates, specifically what version of PHP fixed this problem. i ask because at the moment i don't have that big of a window of opportunity to bring the server down for upgrades.

The problem is that for some reason, the server was kicked into a loop failing on a perl script that eventually filled the /var partition with a 1 gig error log file and brought mysql down for lack of temp space to run some queries. I think that is the "Net-Worm.Linux.Mare.d". It not a special for linux but works on all *unix machines with PHP XML-RPC library and MAMBO. One of the files it uses is ping.txt: mv: ping.txt: No such file or directory [1]http://www.f-secure.com/v-descs/mare_d.shtml _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list [3]http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [4]"[EMAIL PROTECTED]" References 1. http://www.f-secure.com/v-descs/mare_d.shtml 2. mailto:freebsd-questions@freebsd.org 3. http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions 4. mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
