Eric,

I'd like to ask a couple of questions, to get some
clarification.

We have encountered a trojan that has modified both
cmd.exe and
ntdll.dll on a Windows 2000 machine.  The files
failed our CRC check
(TDS was used for this, these out of 29 CRC-checked
files were flagged
as modified and Windows also flagged it).

What is "TDS"?  It sounds as if it might be Tripwire,
but I'm not familiar w/ the acronym.

I'll leave other answers to the original poster.
TDS might be Trojan Defence Suite (as he said he detected a trojan). That is
"anti-trojan" program which works pretty similar as anti-virus programs (has
its own database of known signatures and supports some level of heuristic
scanning, which can lead to lot of false-positives).

Find more info about it at the following URL:

Best regards,

Bojan Zdrnja
