Let's clean up the language, shall we. It is not really my intent to be rude, but each of us "hack" out own systems and the kernel all the time. It might be much more helpful totitle this "My system has been invaded" because we all hack, but we do not crack note invade other systems; we are all "hackers", and none of us - hopefully - are criminals nor online-computer-invaders. Please, and thank you, Richard
