chkrootkit output



I get the following output from chkrootkit:

Checking `chkutmp'... The tty of the following user process(es) were not found
in /var/run/utmp !
! RUID PID TTY CMD
! root 3186 tty7 /usr/bin/Xorg :0 -br -audit 0 -auth /var/gdm/:0.Xauth -nolisten tcp vt7
chkutmp: nothing deleted

I don't understand the meaning of this message. This just looks like the X-server
process. Can someone please clarify?
