Re: chkrootkit and LKM
the prog compare the proc list in /proc and the output of command 'ps'. So, when the chkrootkit will list in /proc, and then get an output from ps, the time between two operation is larger enough to create others process (or die/kill)... that's why this check is not VERY reliable.
