Thanks for the swift and helpful reply. I've checked the mailing list out and downloaded the tarball. I also moved .xsession-errors sideways and set it up again as an empty file, to see what was filling it up (since it as this file that was triggering the chkrootkit alarms). Googling for the incoming error messages I find that they are a known problem to do with kde (and qt, if I remember correctly). So I'm not worrying anymore; I'll just keep an eye on the file and delete it every so often. I'd be interested to hear how many other people using kde on sarge have .xsession-errors files larger than 2GB though - especially as I only installed sarge a few days ago. Many thanks for the help, Cheers, Geoff -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
