    Get a clean install/binary of top, ps, netstat, etc. and check and see if
    there's any processes in netstat that aren't listed in ps. Look in your init
    files, etc.

    Subject: chkrootkit and LKM?
    
    
    Hi
    
    I using a RHL9 as my workstation. A few days ago I downloaded chkrootkit
    and it consistently gives the same output (>20 hidden processes) when
    checking for LKM rootkit:
    
    Checking `lkm'... You have    38 process hidden for readdir command
    Warning: Possible LKM Trojan installed
    
    This is even after reboots. How can I check if this is actually the work
    of the LKM? Or any other rootkit for that matter?
    
    Regards,
    Janus N. Tøndering
