Well, we've got a major problem I'm hoping you can solve. Yesterday a 
user (know pirate) pissed off another hacker and somehow he got into the 
system and deleted the users directory, took our pw file (cated out in an 
IRC channel with the encrypted pws). We immediately check our systems, 
found sendmail to be 8.9, upgraded all these sendmails to 8.7, blocked 2 
class addresses that he may have came from, removed root from ftp on one 
of the machines, and deleted all the lp stuff (since we have no printers).

Checked for suid programs. Well, we restored the directory, and it got 
deleted again tonight. We have no idea how he is doing this. He's changed 
a the /etc/raddb/users file (removed the user from the file) also. In a 
word, I'm stuck, we're unsure of how he's doing it and I'm very scared 
right now that he'll do something major to the system.
