[cobalt-users] Bindshell Infected



I've found quite a few reports of:
Checking `bindshell'... INFECTED
when running chkrootkit

I understand this appears if you're running Portsentry.  I don't have
Portsenty installed.  Does this mean I've definitely been hacked or can the
message be erroneous in other circumstances?

I have a RaQ4r with all patches appliced.  SSH is used to access the machine
(telnet is switched off). My ISP has not noticed any signs that the machine
has been hacked; if they detect port-scanning etc. from hacked machines they
switch them off.

I would be grateful for any help.
