As you've seen you have been cracked by a "worm", it's called
RST.b.

In few words, it infect exectable files in /bin and in the current directory 
from where you are executing an already infected binary. You were infected
because of a php bug and the ptrace bug.

There are lots of info "googling" internet. You can avoid reinstall the server 
if you work carefully.

						good luck
