Re: chkrootkit and LKM?

Get a clean install/binary of top, ps, netstat, etc. and check and see if
there's any processes in netstat that aren't listed in ps. Look in your init
files, etc.

Subject: chkrootkit and LKM?


Hi

I using a RHL9 as my workstation. A few days ago I downloaded chkrootkit
and it consistently gives the same output (>20 hidden processes) when
checking for LKM rootkit:

Checking `lkm'... You have    38 process hidden for readdir command
Warning: Possible LKM Trojan installed

This is even after reboots. How can I check if this is actually the work
of the LKM? Or any other rootkit for that matter?
