Actually it sounds like he's setting up a stock out-of-the-box RedHat
server, not securing it, and within a few hours it's getting hacked and

Does he have direct access to this box to log into the console and check
it for rootkits and whatnot out or is it hosted somewhere he only has
remote access?
