They got in via telnetd, changed the password of toor (an alternate
root account usually used for convenience so you can use a different
login shell for it) so they could get back in, and then did various
other stuff you probably have no chance to completely track down.

At this point you need to:

* Wipe the system and reinstall it -- otherwise, you'll probably miss
  backdoors they've left behind.

* Don't enable telnetd until you can patch it.  Don't go back on the
  net with a vulnerable telnetd or it will just happen again.

* Read the security advisories at http://www.freebsd.org/security and
  *subscribe to a mailing list to receive notification of future
  vulnerabilities!*

* Patch existing security holes in your release, or take appropriate
  workarounds as detailed in the advisories.
