my personal server was running rsync as a daemon, and was cracked and a
root kit was installed on November 25th. I just finished reinstalling
the system with Kernel 2.4.23.

triple check the server, especially with suspiciously new files in /bin,
/sbin and such.

ls -lt /bin|head or whatnot.

Be afraid, only the paranoid survive afterall. check also beak and
