Apologies about being slow replying, and for posting a question not directly 
related to rkhunter. I was probably being a bit paranoid.

It appears that these mysterious outgoing requests (phoning home) are to do 
with clamav's clamd. Netstat -a -p shows:
tcp  0   0   localhost.localdomain:3310  *:*  LISTEN  4088/clamd

Doing a whois for 2 addresses from the Ethereal capture got me:
212.180.1.29           yoda.easynet.fr
195.214.240.53       mirror.waycom.net

The second one is clearly connected with clamav, as the mirrors list on the 
clamav site show that one.

I've also fixed the problem of not being able to update the DB, by removing 
rkhunter and reinstalling. For some reason all the mirrors were missing from 
mirrors,dat, and thus causing the problem.

Thanks for your help.

Nigel.
