Jamin, you're right.  I've made some changes to the machine (fixed the 
hosts.allow and hosts.deny and a few other things), changed some passwords, 
and it seems to have prevented them from hacking anybody else with it, at 
least for now.  Yeah, I've already told them they're going to have to 
re-install everything to make sure it's clean, but I've gotten the log 
working and got a pretty fair collection of IP addresses, along with a few 
repetitive ones.  I'm sort of on a mission now...

So, here's another question - if I come up with a couple of IP addresses 
that look to be good (like not spoofed and possibly the original hackers), 
what do I do with them?  The server is in Miami, should I give them to the 
Miami FBI office?  Just ignore it and chalk it up to their bad setup?  What 
do you guys think?

IIRC, he's intentionally leaving the box connected as he is looking for 
more
information on the people that did it.
