Besides killing what's running, how do I get this all cleaned up?
The hotmail account has been denied logins now. I've also set a new password on the account.
Drop Passwords for SSH completely and use public key based authentification. There, one problem gone.

If you *have* to use passwords somewhere: Don't use weak ones.
Ralph/Ignacio,
Thank you very much for your help!!!! I think it's all cleaned up now. I will look at using public key based auth and disabling ssh passwords.
Thanks again. James
Just a thought... It might also be a good measure to use hosts.allow/hosts.deny for limiting access by ip address to your box from the internet.
