There are two detailed manuals on the FreeBSD website:

  http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/install.html
  http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html

The first is the only *certain* way to secure your server.  The second will
*probably* repair any damage, but it's certainly possible that a
well-entrenched cracker could subvert some of those systems.

Other than that, you have my sympathies.  There's really not much you can
do.  Given that you only know of recent intrusions, I wouldn't trust a older
backup tape either.
