Hi all.

This is my first post here. I'm Norbert Crettol, one of the sysadmins
of Idiap, a research center in Switzerland (www.idiap.ch).

We've had a undesired visitor, last night, that I discovered in the 
reports of tripwire.

Here are the logs we got (we get a remote copy of the web server logs
in another host). As of the second line, I've stripped the head and 
the tail of the line which is allways the same.

I've seen no other

It looks like bind8080 has created a directory /var/lock/.tmp 
and expanded an (owned by the web server owner) archive there. Here
is the list of the files :

Has someone seen this kind of attack ? (chkrootkit doesn't detect it).
Has someone heard of this www.bosscalvin.com (or www.calvinmumu.org) ?
Is there a way to stop this guy ? His nickname (CaEm) appears in the 
the uploaded scripts.
