Can't take it off line? Very irresponsible.

There are no guarantees that your system is clean, even after running packaged programs that supposedly clean your PC.

As Flatline already stated earlier in this thread, the ONLY way you will know you have a clean installation is to repartition, reformat, and reinstall the system. Period. To do anything else is just plain, well, for lack of a better word, stupid.

How do you know that the kit isn't the only thing on there? Blunt answer. You don't. Your system has been compromised. And I guarantee your customers will be far more upset and angry if they knew you were running a compromised box.

save your time to do the 3R instead of searching around for solution,
use a new root password after you've re-installed your system,
remember to update your system frequently with latest patches from the distro vendor,
stop using root account with plain text protocol like telnet, pop3, smtp, etc...
firewall your box properly,
and, disable those unnecessary services to minimize the chances of being hacked.

good luck

How would you tell if you have been infected by such a rootkit?

you can use a program called chkrootkit, you can get it here
http://freshmeat.net/redir/chkrootki...rootkit.tar.gz

it checks your binaries for rootkit modifications
http://web01.slackhost.net/~admin74/...chkrootkit.png
and then checks for the existance of any worms or rootkits
