please tell me your not using a default RH6.0 kernel on a live web
machine??

it seems to me very strange that the key combination alt-sysrq-something
could have been pressed without something falling on the keyboard,
someone else pressing it ( even with something falling on the
keyboard... it's a pretty flukey hit ). *shrug* perhaps you need to look
at the *physical* security of your machine :)

Cheers
Craig
