Tiger Warnings

Hi,

I just ran Tiger version 3.2.1 on FC 14 for the first time and was amazed under the sheer number of warnings it reports, typical amongst them being:-

The indicated port number is assigned to another service. This indicates
either a misconfiguration in the services database, or a possible sign
of an intrusion. This should be checked and corrected. If it is not
apparent why it is like this, the system should be checked for other
signs of intrusion.

--WARN-- [inet003w] The port for service ircd is also assigned to service
ircu-3.

either a misconfiguration in the services database, or a possible sign

apparent why it is like this, the system should be checked for other
signs of intrusion.

--WARN-- [inet003w] The port for service ircd is also assigned to service

--WARN-- [inet003w] The port for service vboxd is also assigned to service
ss-idi-disc.

WARN-- [pass016w] User usbmuxd has / as home directory .

There are quite a few others reported as having ' / as home directory. .

To judge by the whole report my system is a mess and making me think of a complete reinstall, but before doing so I thought I'd check here to see if anyone else gets similar Tiger reports.

Oddly enough nothing is flagged as 'Fail', or is it that Tiger does not flag failures?.

Oddly enough nothing is flagged as 'Fail'.
