36 It's indeed looks like a trojan. It doesn't send you'r etc/passwd tho.
37 It connects to the 203.62.158.32[web.snsonline.net.] port 6667[irc]
38 and opens shell session on that connection, so that whoever is in
39 control there will be able to execute arbitraty commands on your system
40 with you'r current privileges. especialy dangerouus if you compile as
41 root.
