The problem, though, is that you can never really KNOW that everything is back
in order.  After someone has root and the run of your machine, he can do
whatever he likes.  You say that you found four exploits installed?  What if
there's really five?  Or six? Or...

I firmly believe that the only realistic way to deal with an intrusion of that
nature is a full nuke and re-pave.
