chkrootkit is hilariously overzealous here; it is checking if /sbin/init
contains the string "HOME", which upstart most definitely does:
$ grep HOME upstart/saucy/upstart-1.10/init/*
grep: upstart/saucy/upstart-1.10/init/man: Is a directory
grep: upstart/saucy/upstart-1.10/init/tests: Is a directory
upstart/saucy/upstart-1.10/init/xdg.c: * Construct path to @suffix directory in
user's HOME directory.
upstart/saucy/upstart-1.10/init/xdg.c: env = getenv ("HOME");
upstart/saucy/upstart-1.10/init/xdg.c: * Determine an XDG compliant
XDG_CACHE_HOME
upstart/saucy/upstart-1.10/init/xdg.c: dir = getenv ("XDG_CACHE_HOME");
upstart/saucy/upstart-1.10/init/xdg.c: * Determine an XDG compliant
XDG_CONFIG_HOME
upstart/saucy/upstart-1.10/init/xdg.c: dir = getenv ("XDG_CONFIG_HOME");
upstart/saucy/upstart-1.10/init/xdg.c: /* User's: ~/.config/upstart or
XDG_CONFIG_HOME/upstart */
Probably better signatures are needed.
Thanks
