Package: chkrootkit
Version: 0.47-1.1
Severity: normal

Hello,

since I have updated my system to have five IP aliases (eth0:0 ..
eth0:4), I get reports from chkrootkit that I have "4 processes hidden
from view". 


/etc/cron.daily/chkrootkit:
The following suspicious files and directories were found:
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-1.13.3/examples/.htaccess

INFECTED (PORTS:  465)
You have     4 process hidden for readdir command
You have     4 process hidden for ps command
chkproc: Warning: Possible LKM Trojan installed


A cross check with 'rkhunter' reveals no such hidden processes, and a
careful audit of system logs and comparison with backups before the
upgrade shows no suspicious activitiy, added files, or other things
pointing towards a rootkit (so I'm really sure my system is clean).

Since chkrootkit is known for reporting occasional false positives,
maybe this can be explained and fixed?

Thanks,

Jens ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
