I had someone get into one of my machines when I stupidly left telnet 
running and an email from the system much like yours was what first 
alerted me to it.   The kiddie had installed a new ls which didn't allow 
any switches.  I imagine '-l' is needed for the suid check, so it fails 
and reports all the files as changing.   I ran chkrootkit and it turned 
up nothing.   The kiddie had also replaced several other programs (login 
and ps were among them) and turned off syslog.    I'm lucky to have 
several other systems, so i was able to copy over known original 
versions of the system tools that were changed and get the machine 
secured before moving all the accounts and reinstalling.
