[mohaa] server hijacking

[richardnharrison at btinternet.com]

I agree posting a file you have edited isnt really a fix since someone can find out that command and carry on as usual. So we need to know details of how to do what you did. 
i.e. what tools we need and what command to look for.

Any chance you can provide us with it?
