Thanks for a wonderful tool!

I find that I'm getting some false positives with Fedora Core
from 1.3.6. These are new ones. I've already been ignoring
some other false positives for some time. Now, I've got no
problem ignoring false positives, I'm reporting this just
for informative purposes. I also run tripwire and chkrootkit,
and neither of them is reporting anything out of the ordinary.
Well, tripwire reported the install of a new version of rkhunter,
but nothing I didn't anticipate.

Output while running:

(Well, it's certainly in there, but it appears correct to me.)
