We seem to be being told that nowadays we should run a root-kit checker. The kernel exploit would indeed seem to suggest it. I have tried rkhunter and found that I couldn't make head or tail of it. I then read that, for a root-kit checker to work properly, you should install it on a fresh install before said installation goes on the Internet. All well and good, but I almost always install Debian of some version or other, and when I do so, I always install over the net.
So how do I run a check before going on the Internet??? I can hardly install a package of any sort before I have installed at least the basics of the distro! (Yes, I know that there are those on this list who say that a root-kit checker is useless anyway, and root-kits are obviously difficult to spot - the kernel is guarded by people far more capable than I.)
