this is really bad...  today when i got to my computer i noticed that
mysql was broken.  the message was "Can't connect to MySQL server on
localhost".  so after half an hour of debugging (and rebooting my server
:(, bye uptime), I did a telnet localhost 3306 (the mysql port).  lo and
behold, I notice:

# telnet localhost 3306
Trying 208.211.134.100...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
# nslookup localhost
Server:  inbox.org
Address:  0.0.0.0

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:    localhost.org
Address:  208.211.134.100

ouch.  time to reset all my passwords, as this bozo could have stolen them
all.  I don't know why this just started happening, unless the bozo just
registered the domain name, which is why I'm sending along this warning to
everyone on here.
