I read that a specially crafted email "start up a few "yes 'root@0'"
I may have misunderstood the security it is about a DOS attack I was

I must admit I have not used these.

I am just going to assume I have a root kit installed and start from scratch

email via biff.
I should install tripwire and so on in future and harden my site.
