Scot I checked my ls version versus your info and it matches. Thanks for your response. I relearned a couple of other important lessons here. 1. Check other maillist for leads, and 2.

I assume that since the chkrootkit-0.43 gave no indication of warnings or infections, that my system is ok. But you know what they say about the word assume. Norm On Sun, 2004-07-25 at 09:14, Scot L.
