This also happened to me while I was running redhat. My friend thought it would be funny to exploit my box using a pop2 
exploit. Then he used a crontab exploit to gain root.
I am not shure if this is what happened to you... but you can check it out.
The stuff he used on me was the pop2 exploit and the crontab exploit.
these can be obtained here:

and

As I said before, this may or may not help. I was bored while reading through this, so i decided that I would respond.
Sincerely,
