Tiger reports suspicious file - now what?

[Anthony Campbell <ac@acampbell.org.uk>]

I just installed tiger. One of the logfiles (check_rootkit.out.1) says:

 
# Performing check for rookits...
# Running chkrootkit (/usr/sbin/chkrootkit) to perform further checks...
--ALERT-- [rootkit005a] Chkrootkit has found a file which seems to be infected because of a rootkit 
--ALERT-- [rootkit009a] A rootkit seems to be installed in the system 


I ran chkrootkit (2 different versions) manually. Nothing bad showed up
so I don't understand the message. Can I safely take this to be a false
positive?

Anthony
