RE: chkrootkit and lkm



Umm, I have the same problem.

If I kill Exim and Spamassassin no hidden processes reported.

Under normal load sometimes get 1-7 hidden processes.   Was is a state of
panic but it does appear that Exim and Spamassassin combined do create false
positives.

Can this be fixed?

Do you stop the services before running chkrootkit?

It can append that chkrootkit report false positive on machine still
running services. I had the experience with exim. When I stop it I had
no false positive...
