I ran chrootkit today, and it spit this out [in the middle

Searching for suspicious files and dirs, it may take a while...
/usr/lib/qt-3.3/etc/settings/.qt_plugins_3.3rc.lock
/usr/lib/qt-3.3/etc/settings/.qtrc.lock

Total of 200 files it didn't like. I don't see anything there that
looks particularly suspicios. What's going on? Anyone know?


My guess is that they are suspicious because they are dotfiles in
directories that aren't home directories. If chkrootkit didn't claim
that it detected some particular rootkit, it's just telling you that you
might want to look at those to decide whether or not they belong there.

I ran it again just now, and it didn't complain about them this
time, except for two of them. I wonder if access date is being
checked?

I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
