	I am going to have to say that your ISP was using Linux probably
and the offender used t00lk_t to do this. Tell your ISP to cross verify
MD5 Signatures for /bin/login,/bin/bash,/usr/bin/find,/usr/sbin/tcpd and
might as well at your libc.so.{4,5} while you are at it. After he has done
do find / -perm -6000 and after he has found all the setuid programs
examine them and if any are shell scripts add "PATH=/usr/bin:/bin" and
"IFS=" and also get rid of stuff that is not need to be setuid.
