I wasn't 100% sure I wasn't cracked when I installed, but I am sure that
my core utilities are the same as before this attempt. This and clean
chkrootkit are enough for me, as long as I continue to watch what's
going on.

Thanks everyone, mostly I was just venting, but hopefully this will help
prompt anyone who knows of a potential system weakness.
