Turned out to be a security hole in Mambo. He has fixed it. Thanks for your assistance. - Charles On Mar 30, 2006, at 3:33 PM, Brady Mitchell wrote:

Without knowing the exact setup of the server, we can't help much. Any service running on the system that allows people to access the system could be the culprit, or it could be weak passwords on the server, it could even be a piece of poorly written php code that allowed someone to get control. I would suggest that your friend make a list of the things he has running on his server and spend some time googling for security issues with those services/programs. Brady
