I was doing my normal routine of looking through the log files on my server and noticed something different in the error_log file. Below is a portion. It looks like someone is using my site to upload files through here. Anyone know for sure what the heck this is all about?

You might want to report that to your host just by looking through the script I found a few strange things:

PsychoPhobia Backdoor is starting... OK, pid = %d
/ /dev/null sh -i /var/tmp HOME=%s Can't fork pty, bye!
/bin/sh

Thanks Telli. I got em working on it now. Since its a dedicated server, looks like I will be doing a reinstall.

Oh well.....time for the long put off upgrades.
