Hi unSpawn, Thanks for the suggestions.

Sure. Check two runs of lsof if you can:
- (/usr/sbin/)lsof -Fn -w 2>&1>/dev/null
- (/usr/sbin/)lsof -Fn -w -n 2>&1>/dev/null
Tell us which one hangs (if it's the first line I know what to do).
The outcome for each machine is different, so I'll treat then separately.
Machine 1: Fedora Core 3.
>- (/usr/sbin/)lsof -Fn -w 2>&1>/dev/null
hangs indefinitely.
>- (/usr/sbin/)lsof -Fn -w -n 2>&1>/dev/null
doesn't hang.
Could it be the DNS lookup hanging?
Machine 2: Ubuntu dapper
Neither lsof hangs.
Re-ran rkhunter to double check and it ran fine. Strange. Ran a few more
times and the problem appears to have gone away. Hmm. Transient problem?
If it's the same issue as above, it may be a hanging DNS lookup on a
connection that is closed now.
If it is DNS lookup that is hanging, a timeout would be nice as it'd let
rkhunter continue.
Best,
PJ
