Hey folks,

Can anyone tell me what the following output from chkrootkit might mean:

Checking `chkutmp'...  The tty of the following user process(es) were not found
 in /var/run/utmp !
! RUID          PID TTY    CMD
! root         4674 tty1   /sbin/mingetty tty1
! root         4677 tty2   /sbin/mingetty tty2
! root         4680 tty3   /sbin/mingetty tty3
! root         4683 tty4   /sbin/mingetty tty4
! root         4686 tty5   /sbin/mingetty tty5

Naturally I'm concerned.

Thanks,

Stuart.
