    Most likely all false positives. Grab rkhunter and check the (more reliable) output from it.

    Just in case anyone reads this... I had the exact same problem from chkrootkit...

    I installed rkhunter and it was indeed a false positive...

    Install rkhunter it is alot cleaner and more accurate.

    And updated more often, which is important in such a tool.

    Don't forget to "show the love" to the author by buying him something on his Amazon wishlist. He's a good guy and very responsive.
