    Unfortunately those who have upgraded to 3.1.1.1d have problems running NS2.0 even if it worked fine on 3.1.1.1

    Yes, but the hack is very serious. A guy runs a "Specialists" server for my guild, and the server got hacked. Not only can the person take control of your server, but they can take control of the root (meaning they have complete control on the entire computer).

    LOL if they get root access he is a stupid admin. Maybe he didnt installed the securiy-fixes (and/or he run the server as root - ROFL).
