/usr/bin/passwd has identical md5sum on 4 RaQ2s, so Im reassured it was a chkrootkit anomaly. Seems to me to be a good way of double checking.

Hehe, you had me wondering for a minute there if i'd been using md5sum in a totally stupid way there!!

Hope this has helped somewhat, Julian, Jay's md5 looks identical to my visual glance, so looks like as Eugene has hit the spot with the answer :)
