psybnc

Bonjour,

Someone has installed from the web a system called psybnc. I do not know
what it is but it seems to be something nasty as I discovert that I
could nolonger verify my rpm packages...

The os is linux redhat 7.0

I have a private lan and the firewall is Ipchains.

The only service to be connected from outside is ssh (telnet, ftp ...
are desactivated)

My questions:

1- what is psybnc and how somoeone could install it?

2- what to do now: I have plan to upgrade the kernel, change the
firewall and verify all firewall rules, but is it more secure to
reinstall the os?

Thank you for any help.

psybnc is an irc bouncer, a program used to hide a persons true identity
(IP and such) at IRC.
