I just wanted to know when dealing with key loggers, What would be a normal routine for searching them out. I really don't know what I am looking for other than odd process. Also packet sniffers. What are signs?

I don't think there would be any signs. As you said, odd process might be the only clue.
I would assume that in rder to log keystrokes or log network traffic the process would have to be running as root.
The easiest way would be to obtain the list of running processes and then "googling" for the ones that look suspicious.

Yea I was going to sit down and google the majority of the processes. Since this is a university server though, I haven't a idea of half the stuff running so it would be alot to go through. The only thing I could come up with was some sort of shell wrapper that would log every thing.. I'm just scared for the obvious reasons, safety of my passwords and the usual talking bad about my boss. heh thanks for your reply

Let me point out a few things:
To log your keystrokes on unix, there are two possible paths to do it:
1) detectable
call a wrapper from your .profile or global .profile (or .bashrc etc.), or set your shell in /etc/passwd to a wrapper. You can see them running and you can discover them by looking into the above files
2) undetectable
use modified programs, like getty or shell. In that case you'll see what looks like legit process and you can't tell the difference unless you are the system administrator.

#2 usually means that the system has beed compromised. I don't think sysadmin would do that unless it was a company policy or something like that.
#1 is not very useful unless the user does not have a clue at all, otherwise it's pretty easy to figure it out.

Hope this helps
