(modified from my post on the cobalt-security list)

The chkrootkit expects to see only numbers in kernel versions.  The Cobalt
version number (e.g. 2.2.16C24_III) gives it grief.  Change one line in the
chkrootkit script (near the bottom):

From:  V=`echo $VERSION | cut -d- -f 1 | ${sed} 's/\.//g'`
To:    V=`echo $VERSION | cut -d- -f 1 | ${sed} 's/[\._a-zA-Z]//g'`

What's the compile error?  Regardless, it's not a particularly useful test.

Cheers!
