Re: Chkrootkit finds bindshell

chkrootkit found:
Checking `bindshell'... INFECTED (PORTS:  465)

Googling finds that it's often a 'false positive'.  What is the concensus >from this group?  What should be done?

I've figured out that this is found *only* when I have an SSL SMTP server running.  I kill that and nothing is found.  
Apparently Chkrootkit is buggy in this case, and has been for some time.  Time to switch to rkhunter.  Thanks
