Website down
Satelliteguys.us was inaccessable to me from 11:55 to 12:03 CT.
Don't know if it was the site or a node along the way.
Kept telling me it couldn't find the website, but Google, Yahoo and MSN worked fine.

I did have it offline for about 3 minutes as I was doing an emergency security update, the past 24 hours we have had over 100+ people (all from forigen countries) try logging into the server as ROOT, TEST and a bunch of other bogus usernames.
I have installed some new software which locks out access to IP addresses who try logging in after a few failed attempts. Because of this I needed to take apache down for a few moments.
Just trying to keep your information safe.

The bigger you are, the more kiddie hacker wannabe's try to bring your site down. Next it will be Denial-of-service (DOS) attacks just like Gatesoft and Google.
Ping/ICMP are one of their favorite ways to tie up a server.
