I've had one system rooted.  Access was gained using a PHP app that I had 
forgotten about and neglected to update.

Since that experience, I've kept up to date on all software and (of course) run 
rkhunter daily.

The machine that got rooted has since been given to my mom with XP (spit) 
installed (talk about the ultimate rootkit).
