Bug#309942: chkrootkit: false positive on realplayer

[Max Kamenetsky]

Package: chkrootkit
Version: 0.45-1
Severity: normal

Chkrootkit reports a false positive on

/usr/lib/realplay-10.0.4/share/default/.realplayerrc

which is part of the realplayer package.  Perhaps it should be
excluded/whitelisted.

Thanks,
Max

thanks for the report.

i'll add a note to README.FALSEPOSITIVES.  however, see
http://www.chkrootkit.org/faq/#8 for an explanation of why upstream will
not fix this bug.
