Thanks to all for the helpful responses.  I got the problem
dealt with.

The cause of the problem was a hacker who got in thru a bug
in rpc.mountd.  For those that don't know about it, check
out this URL for more info:

Once the hacker gained root access (thru the above bug),
they used a root kit to replace login, passwd, ping, httpd,
and several other pieces.  In my attempt to secure the
server, I secured myself right out of the box!
