Hello David,

I don't think so, unless the box has been interfered with without my
knowledge - and a brief scan of the logs suggests this is not the case.
(Though you never can be too paranoid).

>  Have you though about webmin?

I have indeed - and fortunately webmin is available on Mandrake 9.0,
which is what I intend to install. The problem I have is that the server
is a "legacy" of a previous sysadmin (not that I'm really a sysadmin - I
just step into the breach when required) and has an... unusual (polite
term) selection of utilities and configuration options.

Oh well... I've started backing up for the M9 install now. I hope it
works first time - because otherwise I may be here until midnight.

Cheers,

James
