If your system has been compromised the commands you need include 
'[sc]fdisk', 'mke2fs' and similar, followed by a data restore. I would 
not try to restore from a backup to a compromised system. If you wish to 
ignore that advice then carry out a full restore to another disk and do 
a recursive diff between the two filesystems.

That's one of the shortcomings of Open Source Software: there are far 
more people waiting for someone else to write the software than there 
are people who will actually take steps to solve their perceived need.

Yes sir. Immediately sir.
