Welcome to the club.
You've been hacked.

Your best option is to backup all user data and restore from the CD.
Before puting the raq back online, however, install patches for Bind and
ProFTPD, or the excercise might be in vain.

The wierd thing however is that the cracker didn't replace the ps binary.
