Look for the file psybnc.conf. There you can find the host they are using to
connect your machine.

USER1.OP.ENTRY= something
There you can find witch channels they use and so on.

I also know it's making IRC connections, plus has at least one
rootshell running.  I can't confirm this without modifying bits
of the box, to replace ps with a known good copy, and I can't do
that until one of my colleagues looks at it to get first hand
experience.


BNC is an IRC proxy.  See: http://www.gotbnc.com

You may be able to get more info on your intruder by seeing who it is that
is using that bnc.. find a clean copy of netstat and look at the port
bnc.conf says its listening on.
