They are running this configuration: Apache/1.3.27 (Unix) (Red-Hat/Linux) mod_fastcgi/2.2.10 mod_jk/1.2.0 mod_perl/1.24_01 PHP/4.2.2 FrontPage/5.0.2 mod_ssl/2.8.12 OpenSSL/0.9.6b it is one with which I am very familiar, and it is hard to hack. I put a monitoring device (called a "sniffer") on the wire while I visited your site, and looked at the HTTP protocol back and forth. I did not see anything capable of generating a popup window. There is something odd about the DNS service provided by dot5hosting.com; my current theory is that one of the name servers has been compromised, but I haven't been able to reach it. It is also possible that these popups are being added by a transparent proxy somewhere in the data path. Has anyone not in Europe seen the popups? - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
