Is my server attacked and "rooted"?

[Ola Muan <Ola.Muan@paintbox.no>]

Hi Debianers,

I have a little problem with a server that I am in charge of. Unfortunately
my Linux skills ain't too good yet. The server runs Debian with kernel
version 2.2.12. When I ssh into the server, the bash prompt freezes
immediately after the login is complete, no matter what username I choose to
use.

Can anyone tell me what's going on? Have someone rooted the server and
tampered with the bash program? How do I fix it? Any help appreciated! 

Please copy reply to my address, since I can't deal with the huge traffic on
this list.

Best regards,
