Michael, Try chattr -i on those files inaccessible by root. It should not be possible for files to be inaccessible by root. It is possible that you now have a rootkit installed. A hacker might for example replace your ls command and your chmod command, or any other basic utilities to make things appear as they are not. Don't leave ports open! Don't run services that you don't need. Create some detterents so they go somewhere else instead. -- Doug > Unfortunately, it seems I've already been hacked.
