You've been cracked.

That is, as far as I remember, symptomatic of the recently (massively)
exploited BIND hole being used to gain entry via one or another rootkit. The
smbd in question is a modified telnet daemon which, when used with either
the TERM env. variable set to "owned" or with a password of "Sh!t" will give
you root.

Ouch.

Backup the data, rebuild the box. It's the only way forward.
