Hi,

I've just installed chkrootkit and I'm not sure how to intepret the following (I've removed the rest as it looked fine):

Code:

Checking `chkutmp'...  The tty of the following user process(es) were not found
 in /var/run/utmp !
! RUID          PID TTY    CMD
! <user>       1**** pts/0  /usr/bin/ssh -oForwardX11 no -oForwardAgent no -oClearAllForwardings yes -oProtocol 2 -oNoHostAuthenticationForLocalhost yes -l <another_user> -s <hostname> sftp


Note: I've masked out the two users in question along with the hostname.

I connect to the above SFTP server using Gigolo in Xfce. When I "Disconnect" the share, the above message goes away. I don't understand why it is there when I connect to the host however.

Is this something to be concered about?

If you can reliably reproduce this by using sftp, it's fine. I think SFTP doesn't use utmp.

Thanks :)

I also have this message:

net0: PF_PACKET(/var/tmp/portage/net-misc/dhcp-4.2.5_p1/image/sbin/dhclient (deleted))

Do you know what it means?

I'm having trouble finding documentation on how to interpret chkrootkit results...

Hmm, that seems similar but my message states that the file is deleted. Does that have any significance?

It was running from portage's temporary directory. Might have been part of some tests (are you running with FEATURES="test"? emerge --info prints that), or just some other thing you'd do explicitly.
