Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: chkrootkit

Searching for Suckit rootkit...                             Warning:
/sbin/init INFECTED

According to http://cc.jlab.org/docs/security/alerts/ this is an
indicator for a SucKit infection:

# ls -li /sbin/init /sbin/telinit
172240 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 199472 2009-10-15 21:19 /sbin/init
172791 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root  96568 2009-10-15 21:19 /sbin/telinit

http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-326062-highlight-suckit.html gives
some hints how to verify an infection. As I expected, they show no sign
of SucKit.

This false positive seems to be popping up since a few years. So I guess
the check for SucKit needs improvement...
