Check:

- "mailq for spammers"
- "top for processes"
- "tail -f /etc/httpd/logs/access" to check if apache is going nuts or not...
- "locate mp3" for warez checks...

etc

Thanks. So how can you tell if apache is going nuts? what things should I look for in the log?

When you run that tail command you see the things that are being processed at that time... If you can barely read it because it simply goes to fast... check the logs and find out who the little b***ch is that eats all your bandwidth :D
