Hi,

   I ran rkhunter --check

However, nothing was found.

I then ran chkrootkit,

chkrootkit found this, but I have no idea where the process is:

Checking `lkm'... You have 1 process hidden for readdir command
You have 1 process hidden for ps command
chkproc: Warning: Possible LKM Trojan installed

I have no idea where the hidden  process for ps is.

So, did rkhunter miss something or is chkrootkit just guessing?
RkHunter very probably shows the good result.

The -v option of chkrootkit will print the guilty process(es).
Due to the way chkrootkit does its /proc vs ps test, there is a good probability those are false positives.

Be aware that chkrootkit hasn't be updated for a long time and that the last released
version (0.49) don't even included a bunch of preexisting bug fixes.
If you're comfortable with patching and compiling, you can find most of the patches here : http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/r/rkhunter/rkhunter_1.3.6-4.debian.tar.gz and here : <http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=chkrootkit.git;a=commit;h=ee3b5ac98da9dd6946a30a16afaeb40ec7aee0ec>http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=chkrootkit.git;a=tree;h=8d4baa1fcb62c0d6af421bfa5b82564bc9ffe504;hb=8d4baa1fcb62c0d6af421bfa5b82564bc9ffe504
Note that some patches are only relevant for Debian or Fedora.
Even though all these patches are installed, and if I correctly read chkrootkit sources, the test of threads doesn't work any more on Linux 2.6+. Only hidden process can possibly be detected.

Sorry for the noise about chkrootkit.

Patrick.
