Hmm, are you running postfix on this server (just a suspicion). |

Also, snpp is for pagers: |

Run # netstat -anop which will show you the process owner. Hopefully, if |
| 16 |
there is something running it will show up (clever scripts can mask |
| 17 |
themselves from netstat, ps auxf, etc.). |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
Then run lsof (check man lsof) to see if there is anything suspicious there, |
| 20 |
like another user logged in either as root or with a different name. |

Finally, ask your ISP to boot off a LiveCD and scan the machine with rkhunter |
| 23 |
and chrootkit. |

Depending on how many thousands of tickets the database had the crackers may |
| 26 |
or may have not found out about your root passwd. On the other hand, if you |
| 27 |
can't sleep at nights it is better to format and reinstall. |
