most root-cracks drop you in / with no envars set. so this is what i would
expect.

the new history is added after you logout. you need only type `history -c` to
stop this from happenning. but in this case unsetting the history file is
better.

well, we know YOU didnt crack his box... because we'd NEVER be able to find
YOU... ;-)

seriously though... if this guy is running a recent LFS, we should all be keen
to hear how his boxen was cracked. we could all be susceptible!

Ares Liu... what kernel are you running? i have a suspicion this may be the
ptrace exploit, simply from the fact that it was the last "big" expoit and the
code is publiclaly available; and the cracker clearly didnt have a clue what
he/she was doing...
