Possible illegal access on your server!!
The tittle of the question is the tittle of the e-mail message received by one of my friends who is an administrator(no network admin) in one little non-goberment organization, where network admin resigned his job few days ago. My friend ask mefor help, but the server is running Linux and I dont know nothing about this O.S. The message content was:
"Somebody from Romania is using some IRC software on your server!!!!!
