some binaries are installed by default as they are minimum system requirement , passwd and useradd are necessary too.

if your box rootkited you will need to find all holes and close them, find binaries with problem and replace them as well, or backup the system and reinstall OS.

Your system looks pretty seriously messed up honestly. Not sure I'd be willing to trust that system again without a reformat, even once everything LOOKS okay.

I wonder if this distro has anything like gentoo's qcheck. It goes through every installed file on the system, bar none, checking if their md5's or mtime's have changed.
