Understanding rkhunter warnings
I got paranoid and ran both chkrootkit and rkhunter to scan for rootkits. Chkruotkit doesn't seem to find anything, but rkhunter returned some warnings. I think many may be false positives, but I'm mainly concerned about "possible rootkit lines" and three suspicious files. Any explanations would be greatly appreciated !! Thank!
