"They" were probably init! Do all of these message occur right after a reboot? :) Not to discredit the possibility of attack. There is an axiom that goes something like this. Never attribute to malfeasance that which can be adequately explained by error. (Some would quote it in harsher language.) If you are just getting started you should ask yourself very carefully, "What changed?" and "What do the docs say?" Apache is _very_ well documented on the net. Hope this helps! Thank you, Jason C.
