To put it correctly, since there is _NO_ way to assure that there isn't a rootkit: chkrootkit can be used to check whether there _are_ _known_ rootkits. BTW, there are other, similar programs that do the same. But my point is: You can never be sure, since a hypothesis can't be proven correct, just invalid. If there are indications a rootkit might be present, there's no secure way to remove it but to reinstall. -hwh -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
