I don't believe this toolkit of trojans is called "zoot".  Every RedHat
Linux release goes with a unique name and *suprise* RedHat Linux 6.2 is
titled "zoot" and for example RedHat Linux 7.2 is called "enigma".

I am sure the files have been ported to the "zoot" release, but are
initially comming from another rootkit. Maybe you can investigate the files
more closely and report if you stumble upon any other name except "zoot" 
;)

Konrad
