Cool. How did you discover this slimebag? Would he
have have remained undetected for longer if he'd
bothered to delete those entries in /var/logs/messages?
If a slimebag didn't know that I'd discovered him on
my system after he'd cracked it, I'd think it would
be interesting (in a way) to allow him to remain
there so that I (preferably with the knowledge and
assistance of the appropriate authorities) could gather
as much information as possible about the slimebag's
identity and about other systems he'd compromised
before we dropped a VERY large hammer on him.
However, since the first thing the slimebags do after
compromising one system is (reportedly) to use it to
damage other systems, and since I wouldn't want to have
facilitated any such harm, I would feel obliged to do
as you have done and just wipe the system immediately
upon discovery...
