SubjectRe: Is this a compromise and how?
It looks like you've been r00ted, dude!

Someone installed a r00tk1t and you are now seeing the after-effects of
it. What I'd do, in your case:

back up /usr/local, /home, /etc, then reload the system clean, and replace
teh backups. The system should be in a close state (read: no root kit) to
before you reloaded it.

Good luck!
