Chkrootkit findings and where is the Chkrootkit log??

[yyyppp]

I did a simple chkrootkit in gnome-terminal (10.04) and everything checked out fine except these lines,

Checking `lkm'...                                           You have     2 process hidden for readdir command
You have     3 process hidden for ps command
chkproc: Warning: Possible LKM Trojan installed

I cant find out what the processes are because there is not chkrootkit log and there is nothing in "/var/log/chkrootkit". No hidden files, nothing.

Thank you for reading my post. Any help will be appreciated.

It is more than likely a false positive, doing a quick search on your error, shows pages and pages of the same thing. Is there are reason you ran chkrootkit? Is this a fresh install?

In most cases these are pretty poor tools, as they only alert you after the fact.

I would suggest you read the stickies at the top of the page, if you want to learn about securing your system.

As cariboo907 already said, these are in all likelihood false positives.
