You will never be sure you have picked up all, only the known ones. For a
compromised system, unless running tripwire or something, reinstall!
Its a nice start, but it also tell people i am safe, and they dont know
for sure. Seeing our abuse department getting tickets over and over about
the same customers its a fact that they just simple are not able to clean
it out easilly. Then its better to instert foot (CD) and start all over.
Bye,
Raymond
