[axxs-sysadmin] Backups - URGENT

[Dave Fregon]

If users could backup important material on the axxs.org primary server,
we are looking at possibly moving the server to a bigger machine, and
upgraded OS quicker than expected.

There are hints that the machine could be compromised, but unconfirmed
as yet, initial checks of 2 issues so far seem unjustified. But always
better to be safe with your data than sorry.

ie: discrepancy in /proc and ps count

# ls /proc | grep "^[0-9]" | wc -l && ps aux | wc -l

137
137

seems ok

More ssh connections showing in ps aux than via who possibly due to
sessions used by admins and a number of defunct ssh processes.

So this is more just being safe, than sorry.

your friendly neighbourhood ciderman
