VI is much better than PICO.. But chances are, if he is looking to do
something harmful, it will be embedded deeper then in the java
libraries.

it's quite interesting. Although i can't find any reason for these
commands. 

mkdir /lib/java
cp /usr/sbin/sshd a
mv a /lib/java

It might be that he wants to come back and do something with it. 
Anyone? 

(btw, why not delete pico from your system and intall vi(m)... he might
get pissed and leave. )

cheers.
