Im not a he just an FYI, very proud of not being a dude thank you :P And yes thank goodness its running on a box that doesn't allow root access, we have a home dir we are restricted to. I have learned one thing from this, Don't trust anyone with ssh or ftp even to your hosted mud. The guy who did this walked away with a copy of the mud and is more than welcome to put it up and use it, I never treated this person badly, but he did violate my trust on numerous occasions. The straw that broke the camels back was giving out immortal passwords to a specific mortal. Just be careful, i think this was the worst thing i could possibly think of happening.
