The ls infected thing had me a little worried but then I am more than a little paranoid about this stuff. :) I went through the scramble the first time I ran chkrootkit on a Fedora system and got that report. After researching it for an hour I figured out what was going on and was able to relax a little. For this stuff it is always better to ask questions and question the answers until you understand it. -- Scot L. Harris webid@xxxxxxxxxx If voting could change the system, it would be illegal.
