Hi
I am managing a dedicated linux server running Centos 5.9. I have a problem. I have someone illegally sending spam from the server and setting up http redirects to phishing sites. I have checked security of the server and proved that open relay is not allowed.
I have a directory and file appear in /usr/local/apache/htdocs :
directory .xmlrpc and file xml.html
I cannot delete them regardless of what permissions I assign. I always get 'permission denied'.
I guess that these are related to xml remote procedure calls and I'm assuming that the offenders are using this to access the server.
Please could you help by letting me know how to stop this.
Regards
Phil
