Thanks for the responses. I never know about the command "last". Very cool. I've already found out most of what I needed. It was some guy over in Russia. Those punks! :-) He left some cool utilz on the hard drive for me though. A login replacement that logs all usernames and passwords and a in.ftpd replacement. That's how he got in in the first place. I was running wu-ftpd 2.5.x... I already know there's tons of documented exploits with that verison. I've just upgraded to wu-ftpd 2.6 so that should slow 'em down a little bit.
