Just out of pure interest, do you want to elaborate a little on what that rootkit does?
        * Are all you binaries overwritten?
        * What exploit did it use?
        * How did you notice it (anythign other than the echo thing?)
        * what ports were opened up?

If needs be off list, but it seems fairly pertinant to the topic.
