Did you do a full system re-install, or just the ssh package?
If you haven't done the full system re-install, you really need to go
that route.
Hey Dan,
Tom speaks the absolute truth. From what you've described so
far, you've been compromised badly.
I can't believe this discussion is still going on. Let me add yet
another voice here. It's pre-caffeinated, so I'm trying to be on my good
behavior.

Son, I don't think you're paying attention. That machine is as
trustworthy as that nice fuzzy green roll at the bottom of a dumpster.
At a _minimum_, reinstall, making sure your patches are up to date.
Whatever data you had on that machine, or that could be accessed from
it, is compromised. Period.
If you don't want to do yourself a favor, do it for the rest of us. Who
knows what else that machine is a part of? You certainly don't. I don't
mean to sound harsh, but there just isn't any kind way to phrase it.
"It's not that we're paranoid, it's that we're not paranoid enough."
You can take that to the bank.
Okay, off to find coffee, which I OBVIOUSLY need.
