chkrootkit is not an "antivirus" solution at all.  If your server has
been infected it will let you know.  After the fact.

The two best solutions I've found for protecting Cobalt servers are (in
this order):

Staying up-to-date with software fixed against exploits.

and Michael Stauber's "RaQ550 Security Package".  We've been selling and
installing his Security Software for several years now, and we're quite
happy with it.  As are our clients <smile>.
