He ran the mentioned logclean binary, the content of wtmp is not to be 
trusted, I'd say. There's nothing in it for the second break-in, except my 
logins after he had been there already. For the first break-in, this is what 
last tells me:
 karsten  pts/3        pd95b7e26.dip0.t Tue Jul 19 10:44 - 11:05  (00:21)
 morris   pts/2        201.10.20.103    Tue Jul 19 04:17    gone - no logout
 morris   pts/1        201.10.20.103    Tue Jul 19 04:09 - 11:53  (07:44)
 karsten  pts/0        pd95b7e26.dip0.t Mon Jul 18 17:04 - 17:08  (00:04)

So that's nothing on the day of the attack, and after those two morris logins, 
nothing but myself. And no login on record from which he gained root access 
and created the morris user.

They didn't.

PS: If it wasn't as bad as it is, this would be really interesting. I like 
investigating things... :/
