1) Turn it off
2) Put a new hard disk in it and install FreeBSD freshly on the new disk
3) Mount the old disk read only and recover all the data you can (no  =20
   executables)
4) Do forensics on the old disk, and/or back it up to tape.
5) Nuke the contents of the old disk.

Basically it is really hard to trust any code run from the old disk althoug=
h=20
as someone suggested DDB is most likely to be OK, but you never know :)
