Nice to see we are being talked about anyway...... The porgram in question
is called Roger Wilcon http://www.rogerwilco.com/ Its a "A virtual
walkie-talkie app that runs alongside your favorite multiplayer online
games.  Hundreds of people per channel -- using 28.8 modems without a
server. "

This program is being run with permission by the user in question. 

Thats also the 
13029  0.0  2.0  1572   812  ?  S N May 26   4:02 /bin/sh  ./run_rwbs

I am persuming that this explains all the other stuff in the ps list.....
Well we are re-installing and upgrading tomorrow anyway so I that
will solve it if this is some sort of DoS attack.
