Ok, thanks. I think I'll wait a while and see if the other machine with woody's procps exhibits the same behavior. Then I'll upgrade that package. -D -- He is no fool who gives up what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose. --Jim Elliot www: http://dman13.dyndns.org/~dman/jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] signature.asc Description: Digital signature

i'm getting some strange output from chkrootkit on one of my woody servers. can anyone tell me what this means? i ran chkrootkit again to see if it went away and it came back with the same info. i google'd a bit but couldn't find anything.. Checking `inetd'... Unknown HZ value! (0) Assume 100. not infected Checking `sshd'... Unknown HZ value! (0) Assume 100. not infected Checking `tcpd'... Unknown HZ value! (0) Assume 100. not infected Checking `lkm'... Unknown HZ value! (0) Assume 100. nothing detected thanks, august -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

I am interested in knowing what it means and even how to correct the situation :-). HZ is the number of kernel ticks in a second (Its a measure of kernel time, number of jiffies in a second if you care). It should be 100 on a 2.4 kernel, no idea what it would be on a 2.2 kernel. The programs are probably trying to use the following function to discover the value for HZ and it is not returning a meaningful value for some reason (don't have ideas on that, sorry, you probably have a better chance asking this on LKML) hz = sysconf (_SC_CLK_TCK); -D -- Love is not affectionate feeling, but a steady wish for the loved person's ultimate good as far as it can be obtained. --C.S.
