It's also possible he just figured that anyone with a "user" username with
"guest" password isn't going to be up to the task of checking the history,
anyway. It's more likely, though, that any important, reversible changes that
have been made have had their tracks covered or, like you said, that it's a
script kiddie.

You should, as mentioned, just consider your system scrod at this point. Even
if he's some idiot that doesn't much know what he's doing (much), just playing
with other people's scripts, it's possible he downloaded from someone else's
server and that others now have access to your system without the original
cracker even knowing about it. Do you have your data backed up? I smell a
fresh install.
