Thanks Paul. I still have (partial?) root access. Logs show china9988@xxxxxxxx trying to relay through smtp port, which leads me to think that it's either a diversion, or I rehashed aliases.db before that part of the compromise was complete (highly unlikely, invisible shell access should be able to overcome that). NMap shows ports open for WMS and RTSP, which I've yet to figure out how to close. You mentioned making it more difficult? Any insight is appreciated.
