Hi All,

I have just noticed an odd process running on one of my servers, so  
thought I'd give rkhunter a quick whirl.  The process running is:

root      1372  0.0  0.2  3444 1728 ?        S    17:32   0:00 ?\? 
\??????????g???

with an 'lsof -p 1373' showing:

Running rkhunter (version 1.2.8), I see the following during the scan:

With the results showing:

---------------------------- Scan results ----------------------------

MD5
MD5 compared: 0
Incorrect MD5 checksums: 0

File scan
Scanned files: 342
Possible infected files: 0

Application scan
Vulnerable applications: 1

Scanning took 87 seconds

Vunerable application is: - OpenSSL 0.9.7e, which I'll make a point  
of updating after this.

I'm therefore just after a bit of advice, does this funny process  
name point to a possible rootkit - it seems to be linked to a login  
process, however I'm not that "great" with linux security, it was  
just brought to my attention, so I thought that I would check with  
the list.  The comamnd not found part had me a bit confused, as I've  
not seen it before when scanning some other servers.

Any comments/help appreciated,

Cheers,
Chris
