@matigo I'm overjoyed that it is my left, middle finger this time. It's typically my right, index finger.
Few things bleed like a finger cut by a computer case.
I swear. At least one ragged, razor sharp edge must be part of the design process.
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.
