cracked box (was Re: [BLU] Re: [BLU] Why won't Apache work for me?)

IMHO, it's usually a good idea to fdisk a box and reinstall if it's been
cracked.  You never really know what they've left in terms of backdoors,
etc, even if you're running Samhain/Tripwire et al., although those are
certainly good tools for catching all kinds of things, and I do like them.
