chkrootkit - possible bad news`

["Greg" <greg@meatplow.com>]

I am running Debian on a Dec Alpha PC164.

I decided to run chkrootkit and was surprised by the following line.

Checking `bindshell'... INFECTED (PORTS:  1524 31337)

I am not sure how no interpret this.  I have checked logs, as well as binary
checks and everything "seems" fine.  Can someone help me interpret the logs.
I will attach them at the tail of the email in case the may be helpful.


I don't know what my next step would be.  If in deed I have been 'rooted'
then I should obviously format and rebuild the server.

Thanks in advance.
