It takes the output of diff and applies it to the files named in the diff. For the patch that Michael sent, you should be able to apply it like so: # cd /usr/lib/chkrootkit-0.48 # patch -p1 -b < /path/to/where/you/saved/the/patch-file That should apply the patch and backup the chkrootkit file (as chkrootkit~). The -p1 tells patch to strip off the first directory level of the path in the patch file. So it would remove the chkrootkit-0.48-orig/ and chkrootkit-0.48/ parts and use chkrootkit as the filename to which it's applying the patch. Or you could grab an (unsigned) rpm out of koji: F8: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=35724 F7: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=35723 Or you could wait a day or so for it to show up via a regular yum update. ;) -- Todd OpenPGP -> KeyID: 0xBEAF0CE3 | URL: www.pobox.com/~tmz/pgp ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you want to travel around the world and be invited to speak at a lot of different places, just write a Unix operating system. -- Linus Torvalds
