It's a good habit to get into to always, when root, use the lart
switches to ls:

    # ls -lart

This lists all files in reverse with the most recently modified at the
end.  It's a good habit because you get a feel for what is being changed
when, and how often.  I've found you can often spot problems early by
seeing that directories look wrong, just kind of in passing.

It also has the bonus of showing recently created dot directories, which
ought to make hiding rootkits harder.
