I would go with:
- make sure their not still in the box to start with

- stop all processes you have no idea what they are
(esp. if they are some type of cron job running that you did not auth.)

- change passwords
(if its a hosting box, start changing all clients pwds too)

- continue to work to fix the expolitation point and fix

- send someone out for coffee and/or Mt. Dew........it could very well be an all nighter you pull if you are doing this alone.
