I have disabled both CGI and fastCGI in lighttpd.conf, restart the
webserver, but the script keeps popping up.

Now I notice something interesting:

$ ps aux | grep www
www       116 100.0  0.7  5864  3588  ??  R    11:53AM   8:10.33
/usr/bin/web/httpd (perl5.8.9)
www       113  0.0  0.0     0     0  ??  Z    11:53AM   0:00.18 <defunct>

This file doesn't exist on my system.

Am I correct in assuming that my system has been hacked and I am running an
IRC server or something?

Thanks.
