Hi All, I am getting a bit confused from the messages that I receive in my gmail account sent from my crontab.
First, is related to the title which is: Cron <r...@mylaptop> test -x /usr/sbin/run-crons && /usr/sbin/run-crons I am not sure what this "test -x" part represents? The second question is related to the output of chkrootkit, which is run by the cron.weekly and emails stuff that don't make much sense to me: ========================================== $Ld$ Ll$(Lt$0HÄ8ÃAWAVAUIýATUSHH°èHAÇHÝHL$ØMäITMt$(HÒtdfDIt$ Hötm½(Ht8fLïèHþÿÿITHÃHÆLïèHßèHîHÅ(It$ HuÊIMôIÆ(HÒu¢DÿèH1À[]A\A]A^A_ÃLæLïèþÿÿëÊLïH5H421ÒèoþÿÿDÿèëÃDS1öH°H;èHß[éCopyright (C) the VideoLAN VLC media player developersLicensed under the terms of the GNU General Public License, version 2 or later.Freebox TV listing (French ISP free.fr services)http/shout- winamp://www.shoutcast.com/sbin/newxml.phtmlhttp/shout- winamp://www.shoutcast.com/sbin/newtvlister.phtml?alltv=1http://mafreebox.freebox.fr/freeboxtv/playlist.m3uhttp://www.canalplus.fr/index.php?pid=1784shoutshoutcast- limitShoutcastShoutcast radio listingsservices_discoveryshoutcastShoutcastTVShoutcast TV listingsshoutcasttvfrenchtvFrench TVFreeboxfreeboxStarting FreeboxStarting FrenchTVStarting ShoutTVStarting ShoutRadiono-playlist- autostartItemAddedShoutcast RadioShoutcast TVFreebox TVvlc://nopCanal +Les Guignolshttp-forward-cookieszRL«ACF0lsJG ,A¤,A¼,AÔ)aìog0...@4dûbbb E(A0A8D@| GCC: (Gentoo 4.3.4 p1.0, pie-10.1.5) 4.3.4.symtab.strtab.shstrtab.rela.text.data.bss.rodata.str1.8.rodata.str1.1.rela.data.rel.ro.local.rela.eh_frame.comment.note.GNU- stack @&1...@2s ========================================== Now I happened to notice that the above legible references to vlc are from the "services discovery" list that the vlc player shows under Media/Services. Not sure what they are doing in chckrootkit ... is it telling me that it just scanned all such content? When I run it manually it looks just the same and follows a long output following "Searching for suspect PHP files..." I am not sure I understand why chkrootkit is emailing these to me and if I need to do something about it. -- Regards, Mick
