Or, maybe he's the proud new recipient of a rootkit?

Kim:

Most are in other directories, not the root (/). Maybe you
don't have the prefixes set to find them. If you still have
/usr/local/sbin /usr/local/bin /sbin /bin /usr/sbin /usr/bin and /bin,
you probably haven't deleted the bulk of the utilities.

The ls command is found in /bin. Can you type /bin/ls and have
it work?

The other possibility is that you've somehow had some utilities
get their execute permission removed. They won't process if they don't
have execute priviledges.
