Ryan,

Great information, but what are you asking for?  You
say you can see the guy connected...what port is he
connecting on?  

Have you tried blocking the port, or killing the
process on the local box itself?

What do ps and lsof (or fuser) tell you?

Do your logs tell you anything about how the guy got
in?

Also, since you've posted from your domain, I wouldn't
be surprised if you see other connection attempts to
that box...
