I've had to deal with boxes built and maintained by other people being
rooted. It's not fun :-(

Especially when it's just a root kit. If it were something interesting,
which I couldn't look up on Google, at least it'd be fun figuring that
part out ;-)

They use /dev/kmem. But I'd bet that a little work work could get around
turning off /dev/kmem.

But, 'work' is above the abilities of your average script kiddie ;-)
