rkhunter is reporting this:

---------------------- Start Rootkit Hunter Scan ----------------------
Warning: Suspicious file types found in /dev:

/dev/shm/mono-shared-500-shared_fileshare-steve.blackwell-Linux-i686-36-12-0:data 
/dev/shm/mono-shared-500-shared_data-steve.blackwell-Linux-i686-312-12-0:data 
/dev/shm/mono.2812: data

process 2812 is tomboy so that should be OK. What are the other 2?
Normal? OK to whitelist them?

Thanks,
Steve
