    + ??? root:nobody in log

    All I can tell you is that I got this message in my log a few months ago and was definitely hacked. A clue was that I did "who" and root was logged on from Romania. I replaced the root partition and updated the software, and have not had further problems, but would like to know the usual cause of the vulnerability.

    Probably an unpatched service vulnerability.
