I guess if I was you I would install rkhunter and chkrootkit.
Then launch chkrootkit, and 'rkhunter --check' to try to find if a
rootkit is installed on your system inside a Terminal administrator
window.
Could also be just a module, I don't really knows.
Joke: Maybe you could consider upgrading your rootkit to the new
version that knows how to avoid being detected by unhide. :-)
For myself, rkhunter give warning about inetd.
Looking to /etc/services, I found that Debian seems to like to have a
very big file with all known services rather than just add the
services needed. I don't even knows if other distributions does just
add the needed services.
And chkrootkit see that wpa_supplicant and dhclient are sniffing
packets on wireless lan device, which seems fine to me.
