[ILUG] Sinking feeling - in.sysched

Thanks Gary.  I actually already found that article.  It is what pointed me
in the hacked system direction.  After about 1 hour of looking around, the
system has definitely been hacked (damn!).  in.sysched is just one of many
tools that were installed.  And I believe that it is some type of DDOS tool
(unless someone knows otherwise).  The others include a trojaned ps, sshd
and login, a prog to clean any reference to an ip/user in all the /var/log/*
files, a sniffer, and a nice little shell script that installs them all.
Argh! And I was hoping to leave work early today.  LOL.  If anyone has any
comments, I'd love to hear them.  I'll let you all know what I find.

-Joshua

The people there considered that the machine was probably hacked, since
nobody had heard of the program before (I certainly haven't).
Sowwy :(
Gary.

(btw I know my headers are probably still screwed up)
