   All -

   In the last couple of days, we've been experiencing security
problems on xinit.lug.org.uk (the domain that runs most of the
websites on *.lug.org.uk). The attack vector seems to have been
through some insecure PHP on the system. As a result, I've temporarily
turned off Apache on the machine, until we can sort out where the
attacks are coming from and how to stop them.

   I'll try to get a holding site set up later today advising that the
web hosting is temporarily down. Until then, please bear with us.

   Hugo.
