Umm.. Cut power to your machine. Boot up with tomsrtbt or a bootable business card. Use `dd' and `nc' (netcat) or ssh to copy the contents of your hard drive partitions to another system. Reinstall your system while it is disconnected from the network or at least behind a firewall. Run up2date or whatever other utility you like to patch your system to whatever is current. Copy important data from the disk images back onto your server, and then you'll be ready to have your computer on the network again.. -- _ _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ ___ _ _ __ Syntactic sugar causes / \/ \(_)| ' // ._\ / - \(_)/ ./| ' /(__ cancer of the semicolon. \_||_/|_||_|_\\___/ \_-_/|_|\__\|_|_\ __) [ Mike Hicks | http://umn.edu/~hick0088/ | mailto:hick0088 at tc.umn.edu ] -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
