Do you have your hosts.allow set for everyone to come in and do whatever the
heck they want?

look in /etc/hosts.allow, if there's a line in there that say's ALL: ALL
Then your server is fair game.  You should limit access to only those
servers outside your own network that need access the server(this is not web
based access, everyone can still get to your pages)  this is ftp, telnet,
etc.  That is usually enough to stop the pesky newbie hackers trying out
stuff they find on the net.  Another precaution is to go through you secure
log and look for servers you don't normally see access your server.  The
more persistent hackers require you to check your logs normally (which you
should be doing anyway)  if you can trace a hacker back to where they came
from call the ISP and the FBI.
