The only way to be sure you've removed all backdoors and compromised
files is is to disconnect from the net, format all of your drives
and reinstall from scratch.  Once the system is running, apply any
security patches and lock down your box (/etc/hosts.deny = ALL: ALL,
/etc/hosts.allow = ALL: localhost, comment out most services in
/etc/inetd.conf, disable most of the network daemons that are started
in /etc/rc#.d).  Finally, copy your data (JUST DATA, no executables)
from a backup and reconnect to the network.

Probably sounds like overkill, but when all is said and done, I think
you'll feel better -- and it might even take less time than trying to
find all the things that have been affected.
