Greetings,

   It seems one of my FreeBSD boxes was hacked :(  When I came in this
morning, the screen on my 2.1.6 box was scrolling messages similar to
this:

Dec 25 02:08:50 ns1 statd[150]: attempt to create
"/var/statmon/sm//../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../..//../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../tmp/.nfs09  
D   H   $   $   $   $                     `  O * õ *   *   *   #   #
ü     P*`  c   6                     ý        )            ý       # 
#    ;                       #         XbinXsh
tirdwr                      "

   Does anyone know what kind of attack this is and what I should be
looking for and how to prevent it in the future?  Also, when I try to
boot my FreeBSD box, I get an error:

init not found.
panic.
reboot in progress...

   Is there any way I can start the system or mount the file systems to
see what was damaged and/or recover any files?

Thank you for your time,
Matthew Hagerty
