What are you trying to do - spoil my day? <chuckle>

The problem is there is just so much stuff that can be changed - I mean
there are just hundreds of websites on this particular server. Although it's
not been compromised more than this couple of timese in the last couple of
years, it seems that fighting it is a losing battle designed to lose us our
hair and put the blood pressure up.

I think I'll go into the fruit and veg business! ;)
