@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 :)
Time to cram accoutrements into the laptop bag and go forth to battle the soccer moms, lumber trucks and highway patrol.
@JeremyCherfas Sleep and I have had a contentious relationship my entire life. There was a point where I routinely stayed awake for three to four days, crashed then woke up to do it all over again.
Age has robbed me of that ability.
