View Full Version : Chkrootkit question

FC3, relatively up to date with yum, chkrootkit is up to date.

I run rkhunter in cron.daily, and "occasionally" run chkrootkit.

I guess I haven't been paying a whole lot of attention, as I have just noticed that everything
is "not infected" or "nothing found", except, today I noticed this...
Checking `sniffer'... eth0: PF_PACKET(/sbin/dhclient)
It neither says "not infected" or "nothing found", but also doesn't say "infected" or
"something found".

Is this the expected output for this particular test?

I'm thinking of dumping chkrootkit anyway because of the dotfile nightmare, but I would like
to know if this lack of "not found/found" "not infected/infected result is normal.

Thanks
Mark

If you'd googled first, you'd have found this (http://www.mailarchives.org/list/debian-user/msg/2004/03371).

Right you are Twey, and I don't know why I didn't :eek: I usually do.
I found a couple discrepencies in my logs this morning and googled them, and I guess I just forgot this one.
Am I bad? :D
Thanks for the answer just the same :) (and for pointing out the error of my ways ;) )
