Okay. 2 1TB Western Digitals grabbed out of the parts cabinet. Since my server needs wiped and redone, may as replace the drives too. The company can pay for my headache.
@kdfrawg They've been informed that they can go elsewhere to get a new server up. I am not doing it. I do not have the time to spare. They were also informed that if that guy was the one who did it, I won't provide any sort of service for it and if they don't like it, they can find another vendor.
@kdfrawg And it spread to mine through the tunnel. (SSH was replaced also Which is not unusual.). I talked the guy through using netstat to isolate the IPs is was communicating with and how to block them with iptables. That enabled them to dump their data at least. They were then informed that they are responsible for finding someone else to re-do their server.
The rooting of that server is pretty impressive. It completely replaced UDEV as part of it's payload.
Customer's geek calls. Wonky server behavior. Have him make ssh tunnel to my utility server at the house. I get in. Find it is seriously owned. Ownage made it to utility server at my house. Nothing critical on it. Just a pain in the rear end and Found geek had enabled telnet (?!). One stern lecture later (You just wake up from a coma? Is SSH too hard to spell? What gives, dude?).
After that call, I discover our shipping system coughed up a lung. Built new system and got WorldShip running again then played, "Make Windows accept a LP 2844 label printer".
Replace faulty motherboard in customer system.

@matigo Words to live by. Simple is harder to pull off than complicated, nine times out of ten.

@jws Yeah. I finally glanced at the 10C docs and it looks pretty straightforward. Not even going to try to do the dumb thing I was going to do for app.net because I'm not even 10 percent into writing the TCP/IP stack :)
