Shawn,
I am using RH 7.2. I found the problem. I have in fact been hacked. I
found a process "muhh" running from the /var/run directory. I will have
to reformat and rebuild the game server. I would love to find out what
the hacker was using my machine for. Any suggestions on how to find out?
There were several subdirectorys and many files. I have looked at the
logs it used but it doesn't make any sense to me.

Thanks for the answer,

Kory
