I know I've got hacked. Apparently the hacker has installed some root kits.

I have around 50 virtual sites configured on it using a mix of mail, ftp and
web services.

Can you tell me what configuration files are needed to be backed up so
that I can format, re-install and restore the data to system so that I have
the least amount of downtime?

Here is what I thought is needed

/etc/passwd
/etc/group
/etc/shadow
/etc/named.conf
/etc/named
/etc/mail
/etc/httpd
/home
/var
/usr/local/majordomo
