I don't know exactly how you are set up but here are a few pointers.
(Assuming the cd backup can be brought up to allow compares of files) Compare the checksum (man sum) information for all files. Write a script to check them and output the ones that are different.
Start reading - check out the links provided in earlier messages - The folks responding to your questions are not responsible for your system - you are. You need to get up to speed by doing some research. Search the web for Solaris security, hardening Solaris, check out SunSolve's security, insure the recommended security patches are on.
Once you get an idea of what you need and what you don't, turn off services via /etc/inetd.conf. Get ssh installed on the system so you are getting to the system via a secure connection (well, more secure than telnet). Turn off telnet - you don't need it for Sendmail (assuming this is ALL that this server is suppose to be doing).
If you have a separate /usr partition, mount it read-only, if possible. You and any hacker will not be able to change anything in that partition unless the system /etc/vfstab is changed and the system rebooted.
Run a checksum against all files systems that should not have changes - there used to be a program from SUN but I don't remember the name.
If Solaris 7 does not have Sunscreen Lite as a 'free' product, install Solaris 8 on the new server and use Sunscreen Lite. If you can push buying a firewall product, then do that (you now have the case/documentation of why it's worth it)

FLUXBOX-REMOTE(1) Fluxbox Manual FLUXBOX-REMOTE(1)
NAME
fluxbox-remote - command line access to key commands for fluxbox(1)
SYNOPSIS
fluxbox-remote command
DESCRIPTION
fluxbox-remote(1) is designed to allow scripts to execute most key commands from fluxbox(1). fluxbox-remote(1) will only work with
fluxbox(1): its communications with fluxbox(1) are not standardized in any way. It is recommended that a standards-based tool such as
wmctrl(1) be used whenever possible, in order for scripts to work with other window managers.
CAVEATS
fluxbox-remote(1) uses the X11 protocol to communicate with fluxbox(1). Therefore, it is possible for any user with access to the X(7)
server to use fluxbox-remote(1). For this reason, several key commands have been disabled. Users should be aware of the security
implications when enabling fluxbox-remote(1), especially when using a forwarded X(7) connection.
RESOURCES
session.screen0.allowRemoteActions: <boolean>
This resource in ~/.fluxbox/init must be set to 'true' in order for fluxbox-remote(1) to function. Please read the CAVEATS first.
ENVIRONMENT
In order to communicate with fluxbox(1), the DISPLAY environment variable must be set properly. Usually, the value should be ':0.0'.
