1 I just ran chkrootkit and noticed this at the end:
2 =====================================
3 Checking `chkutmp'... The tty of the following user process(es) were not found
4 in /var/run/utmp !
5 ! RUID PID TTY CMD
6 ! root 11301 tty7 /usr/bin/X -nolisten tcp -br vt7 -auth
7 /etc/X11/xdm/authdir/authfiles/A:0-YcFb54
8 chkutmp: nothing deleted
9 =====================================
10
11 So, I looked at that output of ps auxf and saw that the server is
12 running on tty7:

25 On another box which is still running the monolithic Xorg no tty is reported:

40 Other than the status of the Xorg the two machines are pretty much set
41 up identical. Could someone please explain why this message is now
42 coming up in chkrootkit and if there is something I need to change in
43 my settings?
