didn't actually read the information.. im wearing 
a white hat... see??  

just identified what was causing the "leak" 
I whole heartedly agree that the guys who admin the server 
shoud be shot... running a webserver as root is the fastest 
way to be owned im sure that's not the "only" mistake they 
have made.

I hope some one (the first guy who pointed this out) knocked on their 
door to inform them that the garage door has been left open and did you 
know 3 guys with a moving van are cleaning out the contents... 

(BTW I thought it was next to impossible to run httpd as root without 
changing the defaults set in the make or package) 

do I smell a honey pot ?? 

lammas... every wher I turn ... lammas...
