Bryan, Charlie, Lyvim,
> chkrootkit -x lkm
Reading, trying to understand and have come to the conclusion that I'm not
compromised. Why? I'll try to explain to the best of my meagre abilities.
I ran chkrootkit and the following showed up.
Checking `lkm'... You have � �48 process hidden for readdir command
You have � �48 process hidden for ps command
Warning: Possible LKM Trojan installed
I wondered about the version I was running, so I uninstalled whatever it was
(don't remember which ver) and did urpmi chkrootkit. Ran it and nothing was
detected. That ver was .42b. Unisntalled it and found the other version I
was running and installed that one. It is .43. It found the problem. When
I eventually got the command running that Bryan showed me the things that
showed up were all to do with my Bittorrent Client, Artsd and Firefox.bin.
I shut down the Bittorrent Client and all but three processes dissapeared.
They were the two tabs in Firefox and one artsd.
So, do you think I am kitted or am I, as I suspect, worrying about nothing
this time. I have learnt something this day, so your help isn't for nothing.
I appreciate it all. Thanks guys.
Regards
Trevor Rhodes

Never mud wrestle with a pig.. you get dirty and the pig enjoys it!
Never try to teach a pig to dance. You waste your time and annoy the pig.
Theoretically pigs can fly if propelled with enough force.
