We're still unsure exactly what had been done.  Most of the logs have been either cleaned or wiped completely (either by log rotate or by the attacker).  I was gone for the weekend so I sorta came back to this.  I don't really have questions about the attack per se, we're doing pretty well at the recovery process....  one question I do have however is this.

Sometimes script kiddies will forget to erase their shell history
files. You can locate them with the following find regex:

find / -regex '.*\(\/\.bash_history$\|\/\.history$\).*' -xdev

Good Luck,
