Re: extra .. folder in /dev
Wesley,
e2fsck -f should find and clean that up, but I _strongly_ advise you to
reinstall completely. Rooted boxes are like some forms of cancer -- no
matter how hard you try, you just can't get the "disease" (or the script
kiddie, in your case) to go away. Reinstallation is your only real option.
Regards,
Alex.
