here's what i've been able to find, I think it's Linux/Slapper.worm.b, I got
an email from my ISP saying they have been getting complaints and that it
was probably due to a virus of some kind, i recieved a strange email in my
root directory, and a friend told me it was probably this worm.  Thanks for
the help.
