Hello, I am using the elrepo fglrx driver and kmod packages (14.12-1.el6) with Scientific Linux SL6x. Just recently, rkhunter has started to complain about a file /dev/shm/sem.__AMD_GL_CACHE__0016fe1386291f1d_20. From the name, it looks as if the file is related to the driver and the file looks pretty innocent - 32 bytes consisting of a 1 and 31 0s. If I delete the file, it eventually regenerates, although I don't know what triggers the regeneration. Googling on the file name produces no results, but the documentation for the closed source driver says that you need /dev/shm for 3D effects. I can't find any filenames in that documentation and I'm not consciously using any 3D effects.
The one thing that has changed recently is that I have added a second screen (without xinerama). The second screen was there for about a week before the first rkhunter warning. Can someone reassure me that the fglrx driver does put files with that kind of name in /dev/shm so that I can whitelist them for rkhunter? Stephen Isard
