Hi,
     yesterday chkrootkit logged this

Checking `lkm'...
  You have     2 process hidden for readdir command
You have     2 process hidden for ps command
Warning: Possible LKM Trojan installed

Today it logs

Checking `lkm'...
You have     4 process hidden for readdir command
You have     4 process hidden for ps command
Warning: Possible LKM Trojan installed

Would these be a 'false positive' or for real and if so how do I
confirm and remove any infected process/trojan

   Thanks   david

Hi David,

Sometimes I have 64 process hidden for readdir command... with chkrootkit.
But nothing wrong with Rootkit Hunter 1.1.8. (http://www.rootkit.nl/)

Please try it and tell me.
