Which version of Apache are you running on your server and what modules are installed and running (like mod_perl, mod_php4, etc.)? There have been several security vulnerabilities that have cropped up with Apache < 1.3.26 and 2.0.40, PHP < 4.2.2, etc. Also take a look at your http-error.log log files (any maybe the http-access.log files to see if someone is trying to pass in invalid data) to see if it reports anything or not. -- Linh Pham lplist@closedsrc.org Webmaster and FreeBSD Geek http://closedsrc.org closedsrc.org Every solution breeds new problems To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
