I had ran strings on it too, and tried to find some of the strings on
Google, but no luck. I actually searched for some of the following:

Folosire:
%s <uivfp> [args]
u - Uninstall
i - Pid invizibil
v - Pid vizibil
f [0/1] - Fisiere ascunse
p [0/1] - Piduri ascunse
Nu am reusit sa il dezinstalez (%d)
Nu am reusit sa ascund pidul %d (%d)
Nu am reusit sa arat pidul %d (%d)
Failed to change %s hiding (%d)!
Versiune: %s

But I didn't find anything useful. I guess I should have searched for some
of the other strings as well.

I'm reading up on the suckit rootkit now. I added a new hard disk on the
compromised host, and installed RH9 on it so that I can investigate the
files on the old compromised disk. Hopefully the logs will shed some light
on how the intruder got in.

Thank you very much for your help.
