Hi, this is not exactly a reply to your question, just a general pointer: whatever you do, don't rely solely on chkrootkit. One woody-box I know of just recently got cracked, and had the viceroy rootkit installed. It was a very poorly done rootkit to boot (ls, ps, netstat etc were all dynamically linked to libc.so.5, which didn't exist on the machine, /sbin, /bin and /usr/sbin had tons of ext2-attrs attached, /var/log was wiped and syslogd killed etc).
Turns out, the latest debian chkrootkit (0.40?) didn't find a thing and declared the box as clean. After seeing that I recommend tripwire over chkrootkit to anyone that asks, even if tripwire is higher in maintanance.
