Hacking worries

Hello,

  I recieved mail from a student at another say claiming that a friend of a
friend had broken into one of our DU boxes (sounds like the start of an
urban legend, but I followed it up to be sure). He pointed me to
"http://www.rootshell.com" as to where the tools supposedly came from. I
can't find any traces of a breakin or of any hacking.
  I'm running 4.0d with patch set #2. Does anyone know of any particular
Digital Unix holes, especially in NIS or NFS? I don't want to waste my
time reinstalling the boxes if there is a OS hole which I am unaware of.

Thanks,
Matt Goebel
