Thanks to you and everyone else for the advice. I was curious as to
what the hacker had done, but ended up reinstalling. Overnight I used
my windows box to download the dvd iso file for Slackware 11.0 and used
it to nuke the old installation. Once that was done I took the config
files from the old installation I had backed up and restored them.

My DSL modem does NAT and port forwarding. I removed port forwarding
for port 22.

I tried to get this working on my windows box, but haven't been able to
yet. I changed sshd_config so that sshd listens only on the IP address
of the nic that's connected only to the windows box.
Hopefully this will make things a bit more difficult for them.
