VJ, if you suspect a  "bad user", then follow standard procedures to determine
whether your security has been breached - the name of the process is *EASILY*
modify by anyone who has got root access to your box (you will definitely not
see "hacker_process_here" listed :).

"standard procedures" - search the web and list archives for them. But to make
it short : if there's nothing of value in your box, just reinstall it
(including a complete reformat of all disks involved).
