remove serverbeach backdoor

when you lease a server from ServerBeach, they install a backdoor on your server. Here's how to remove it when you choose CentOS or similar redhat type system.

service sbadm stop
chkconfig --del sbadm
rm -f /etc/ssh/.sbadm_config
rm -f /usr/sbin/sbadm
rm -rf /usr/local/webmin-*
rm -f /etc/init.d/sbadm

linux boot disk fun

note to self. never, ever, ever ...leave the custom linux boot disk you made, with the fancy all-in-one kickstart file, in the cd drive of your laptop and reboot.

do not allow it to persist in your cd drive, for even the most trivial length of time for which it is unnecessary...REMOVE IT.
