    Have you tried rebooting the machine with a known "good" init? I believe
    the suckit script copies the original instead of clobbering it. 
    
    If they installed lkm there will be an invisible directory that you
    probably won't be able to see with any of the usual utils. SK default
    for this is /usr/share/locale/sk/.sk12
    
    cd to it and see what ya see.
