Rootcheck 0.3 is available for download. This software
checks all the system for possible problems... (the
output of the rootcheck against a infected machine
(honeynet scan29) can be read here:
http://www.ossec.net/rootcheck/examples/

Here are the "checks" that the program execute:

1- Check the binaries
2- Check for hidden/malicious open ports
3- Check the interfaces
4- Check the passwd files
5- Check the configuration files
(httpd.conf,inetd,sshd_confg, xinetd, exports)
6- Check the log files
(syslog.conf, if syslog is running, etc)
7- Check for hidden process
8- Check for public rootkits
9- Check the /dev
10- Check the system for maliciousfiles/directories

More info can be found here:
