chkrootkit - suspicious files and dirs


Here's a portion of the output from chkrootkit:

Searching for suspicious files and dirs, it may take a while...

/usr/lib/j2se/1.4/jre/.systemPrefs

Are the entries listed as "suspicious files and dirs" something I should be concerned about?

Not usually. Anything outside of the user home directories that has a filename beginning with a "." (aka a hidden file) is automatically flagged as suspicious by chkrootkit. For some reason alot of the java libs are named that way which is annoying but harmless. It's still a good idea to visually inspect these files though, just in case.
