There is a third party rpm available here: http://www.rootkit.nl/projects/rootkit_hunter.html It is quite an easy program to use, and I like that too. :-) --Angus "Let us not look back in anger or forward in fear, but around in awareness." -- James Thurber *********************************************** ~Linux Powered by Mandrake 10.0~ *********************************************** ~Reg.
