hi

w/o knowing your setup, its hard to tell how they
got in ...

stuff to do now, that they are in..

a. take that disk offline
b. get a new and install a fresh copy of linux from cdrom
    and apply all patches for that distro
c. turn off all unused daemons, services
        - change your passwds locally on each console

d. restore your user data from backup PRIOR to the hack
   -- do NOT restore binaries, libs

e. get the forensics guyz to come and and review your
    disk and security policy as to how they got in
    and how to prevent it next time
        - probably attack the kernel
        - attack the dns, fw, sendmail, pop, etc

let the fun of chasing them down begin

have fun
