Just thought I would let you all know that I found the hacker/s that defaced one of my virtual sites on a RaQ3. I still haven't figured out all that could have been done, but I did find the hacker got through using a cgi. I did a grep on the web.log file for "dwarf" and then found that bbs_forum.cgi was being used to execute perl scripts.
