I'm going to blame the black-hat hacker who painted his junk all over the 'Space forums for ruining my 4th of July.  Now they're down and redirected until I get Kisai in to look at it.

Once again, the problem appears to be the "awstats" hole that should have been closed a long time ago. I've gone ahead and installed with deep dependancies awstats, and then removed it, in case it was installed. Now unless it was installed improperly (not through the package system) it shouldn't be on the system at all. The forums were actually running 2.0.15 , not 2.0.11 like the version number said, I just forgot the version number. I've updated all the code to 2.0.16 so it's in sync, though I might have broken some things, as I chowned and chmod'ed the directory. What I want to do, to prevent a repeat, in case it's phpBB , is somehow chroot jail the forum directory.
