    What you should do depends on either your company policy / practice or your
    own personal preferences. 
    The place to go (should you decide to so) is the FBI.  Although, I suspect
    you may find this a mildly traumatic experience.

    		Someone tried to get into one of our boxes here and left a
    door (rcp) to one
    		of their hacked servers.  They also left quite a few files
    on the server,
    		large list of servers, IP addresses, usernames and root
    passwords + their
    		toolbox of toy scripts. Our system did not let them delete
    these files, but
    		they thought they had.  I also have the console log with
    them chatting to
    		each other & the commands they issued.
    
    		Is there any one place to report this type of violation or
    should I just
    		clam up and clean up the box?  The connection (rcp) is still
    up (not for
    		long I suspect tho), I would like to catch these
    buggers.....
    
    		Thanks
    		JAMES
