    I ran chkrootkit ( v. chkrootkit-0.43 ) earlier and
    noticed that chfn, date, and chsh showed as being
    infected. I remember reading post from the past that
    right now chkrootkit is giving alot of false
    positives, so I suspected that these 3 binaries are
    not bad.

    However, to be on the safe side, I deleted the 3
    binaries, removed /usr/src and did a 'make world' to
    4.10-STABLE.
     
    But, chfn, cfsh, and date are stilling showing as
    infected.

    Is my assumption that I am seeing a false positive
    correct, or anyone know of an exploit that would
    affect these 3 binaries ( and even after a 'make
    world' from clean src )?

    Michael
