I also ask myself the same question some time ago. That's why I have changed that automatic naming. On the other hand I have few misunderstandings with chkrootkit and rkhunter warnings. Hardy, from witch I write in this moment have only firestarter, chkrootkit and rkhunter installed apart from the box realize packages and it still warn me about hidden "something" in /dev/ and chkrootkit warning is even worst, it warns me about possible troyan. Scary, isn't it?
