Raven's already seen this box, so I was curious as to what my netstat looked 
like in comparrison to everyone else's. Here goes:

netstat -ap

That looks pretty obvious, except for the http-alt. Anyone know what that's 
there for? 
ftp is chrooted and using parallel virtual accounts (ie. the usernames are 
the same, but the passwords are different from /etc/password).
pop accounts are the same (which means login passwords do not go over the net 
in plaintext).
mysql is used by the mailing list server.

currently everything except pop, smtp, dns, ftp and http are blocked from the 
outside world by the firewall.

There seem to be a lot of perl instances there, not sure why (except that the 
fcgi script is perl). The 'login' is an "su". You can't log in as root except 
from the console (and there's no one sitting under my desk, so that's clear 
:))
