Possible illegal access on your server!!

by julioairizar . Updated 23 years, 2 months ago

Hi:
The tittle of the question is the tittle of the e-mail message received by one of my friends who is an administrator(no network admin) in one little non-goberment organization, where network admin resigned his job few days ago. My friend ask mefor help, but the server is running Linux and I dont know nothing about this O.S. The message content was:
“Somebody from Romania is using some IRC software on your server!!!!!
PsyBNC or Proxy for IRC!!!!! This is very dangerouos!!This may causeflooding or DOS attacs!!!

[06:31] * Looking up 206.29.150.55

[06:31] * Resolved 206.29.150.55 to dsl-206.29.150-pool-55.cwpanama.net
-this is on UNDERNET IRC.
Please check your system.” Question: What we can do about this? How we can check if this is true and in this case eliminate the threat? Thanks in advance.
