For those who would understand…
It appears this server has been compromised and a root kit installed on it. The most effective solution would appear to be a complete reinstall of the OS.
I don’t know when I’ll have my colo folks do this. Given that I do most of my own work on the site at night, most likely any down time will be when I’m asleep (morning and early afternoon EST).
I apologize in advance for any downtime you all might see while this is happening.
Good Luck! Its never fun to start a server from scratch. Hopefully you have a good Colo staff to take care of things for you and up to the second verified backups!
