If you set MAIL_WARN=yes MAIL_USER=emailaddy in /etc/security/msec/security.conf then the results of chkrootkit will be amalgamated into the daily security emails msec will start sending you. The security mails will also include lists of :- config files altered, world writable files, ports opened/closesd/authentication violations, and firewall hits. If you are not running Postfix or some other MTA, then ssmtp is a simple smtp agent which could deliver the mails for you. derek -- ---------------------------------- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
