Rootkit in Lucid

[jimmers]

Hi All,
Today I purchased UBUNTU User, Issue 6, because of the extended version of Lucid, just to see if it was any different from the version that I was using (downloaded), agreeably there are apps included, that I had to download, but I digress, after installing from disc, I did what they advised and installed "rkhunter", guess what after running the programme it reported two warnings, I never had this with the downloaded version,
what I am after peeps "what do I do now" this is beyond my ken.

As always all Ideas, Suggestions and Help greatly appreciated'

[nixon.white]

Write down the warnings.

What exactly are you concerned about?

Did you check the log?

Are you aware that tools like rkhunter produce false positives?

Did you Google for any anomalies?

File system warnings with rkhunter are quite frequent because file properties change.

It is not necessarily a rootkit or anything else, just the program telling you to check IF something might be wrong.

You know your system better than anyone else, and can tell if something has changed recently.

[nixon.white]

Check warnings in /var/log/rkhunter.log but I think there is no reason to worry about that.

[rollin]

The log is just a copy of the verbose output posted. The only "Found" references I can see are these:

Checking for local host name [ Found ]
Checking for system startup files [ Found ]
Checking for running syslog daemon [ Found ]
Checking for syslog configuration file [ Found ]

These are part of the system installation and nothing to worry about.
