Go ahead and write one <smile>. To install chkrootkit just untar it, and then go into the newly created directory and type (as root: # make sense To uninstall it just delete the entire directory. Of course you should remove the tarball as well, to save space, unless you need it for later reinstallation. Jeff
for the record, I got these very good instructions from this list. They just didn't say how to remove it later :)
Slightly modified at this point...
in /home/sites/home/admin_tools
su -
cd /home/sites/home/admin_tools
wget http://www.semalug.org/mirrors/chkrootkit/chkrootkit.tar.gz
tar -zxvf chkrootkit.tar.gz
rm chkrootkit.tar.gz
cd chkrootkit-pre-0.36
make sense
./chkrootkit
Now... to remove, just delete the directory chkrootkit-pre-0.36
rm -r chkrootkit-pre-0.36
cheers,
