All hidden files (starting with a dot) not known to chkrootkit are considered 
suspicious. I find lots of .packlist from installing PERL modules.

I don't, but I think I should, run chkrootkit from a readonly medium. Somebody 
is going to add a hacked chkrootkit to a root kit sooner or later.

Wouldn't hurt to backup /sbin and /bin on the cd either. Several of those 
files are going to he hacked in an exploit.
