I'll do that.  Thanks for the tip.

I've been checking my logs, and I've run the most recent version of chkrootkit 
that I could find, and nothing suspicious has come up which would indicate 
that someone has rooted my machine to send out spam (with so many Windows 
computers out there, it seems a waste of effort to compromise a Linux box to 
do just that).  Still, you can't be too paranoid.  Tonight when I get home, 
I'll be tightening my firewall anyway and possibly rebuilding this server 
(it's currently running RH8; I'm pondering FC3 or possibly WBEL4RC1 for it).
