Looks like someone is pissed at FDC. There website was down almost an hour, as on WHT, someone posted at 6:23 (GMT-6) that fdcservers.net appeared to be down. Petr, can you shed some light into this?

We`re upgrading PHP and doing some server maintenance today. Has nothing to do with the network

Yeah..evidently there are some nasty bugs in earlier releases of PHP, as reported by freshmeat today. They said these vulnerabilites were 'easy to exploit'.

So anyone running less than 4.3.10 and 5.0.3 should upgrade.

One of the main reasons why I don't really care for control panel software which modifies services. You're at thier mercy until they issue updates. For me, I don't like the idea of twiddling my thumbs while I wait for a patch..meanwhile, some kiddie has his way with my box. ;)
