Shatters.net hacked!

Sorry about the downtime . . . you can thank the r00tkit losers that hacked shatters.net last night around 4am PDT. No damage done, but I had to shut the server down for the day until I could upgrade everything (including the kernel) and wipe out all the compromised binaries. There may be more downtime in the next few days. I've got the IP address from which the attack originated, though I doubt it will do much good.

Grrrr.
