It's a hacker breakin, probably. :)
linsniffer typically is used to record the passwords of people flying by
on the network.

Sounds like a packet sniffer. Remove it, install TCP-wrappers, remove
your
r-commands from /etc/inetd.conf, change all your passwords (both on that
machine and on your other accounts), install fresh copies of all the
programs mentioned in /etc/inetd.conf from your install media, and
consider
linsniffer is an ethernet sniffer. It sits and listens on a network and
grabs every packet it sees. This is why ssh is a good thing...

For added protection, install some form of packet filter, and drop
malformed packets, short packets, long packets, OOB data, and all incoming
protocols on ports you're not actively binding programs to in inetd.conf.
Does anyne have a packet filetr like this?
