Most of what I have read recommends a compete reinstall on a system that has been breached. There may be back-doors you don't find. Take a look at - http://www.cert.org/nav/recovering.html Also set up a firewall to help prevent this in the future. There is a book at - http://www.openna.com/resources/articles/v1.3-xml/index.htm that might be helpful to you. It is redhat based but many good tips. You might want to start with the Security-HOWTO at - www.linuxdoc.org There are many programs like "tripwire", "snort" "portsentry" you might want to take a look at. You might want to think about getting an older box, 486, P100, along those lines and set up a dedicated firewall for your other box(s). hth, kent -- I'd really love ta wana help ya Flanders but...
