You can't have anonymous writable directories in FTP anymores.  there are
just too many abusers.

Offhand, I'd say you weren't hacked, that was just the 'warez' crowd using
you as a nice anoymous archive for their pirated software and MP3 files.
Sounds like DEC Unix by default has this writable PUB so they probably
targetted you because of this.  The spaces directory is a typical 'warez'
trick for hiding one of their file caches.
