I understand the temptation. Really, I've been there. The downside possibility is of the bad guys retaining multiple backdoor ways to re-enter your system, continuing to subvert it, and continuing to use it to attack other systems (or just wiping your system's hard drive, at some unpredictable time). You'll not be able to exclude this likelihood, unless you carefully rebuild and "change all the locks". -- Cheers, "Besides, Debian runs Web sites, Red Hat runs Rick Moen Quake, and Windows runs Half-Life."
