Jul 26 00:09:17 omhan1 : Security Warning: There is modifications for
port listening on your machine :
and I also checked the permissions on /var/log/messages and they too were
changed from -r------- to -rw-r--r- so this guy (I'm assuming its the
same guy)apparently got in (through  the news server?) suid'ed a bunch of
files and  changed permissions on at least one file that  I know of and
I'm sure there's more I haven't found  yet.I have tripwire installed but
being a relative newbie I'm unsure  how to restore  with it besides the
fact that he/she may have  a backdoor on my box now.I worked hard getting
my  box the way I  liked it  but would I be  better off starting over
with a clean install or should I try  restoring it with tripwire and if
so where would I start?

            Thank you,Gary Martin
