Package: chkrootkit
Version: 0.57-1
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-b...@th-dorner.de

Dear Maintainer,

The regular running chkrootkit apparently creates a file '1' in the
directory /usr/lib/chkrootkit.  Checking for a supposed bad redirection
in the scripts of the package of chkrootkit (with "grep -n '> *1'
/etc/cron.daily/chkrootkit /usr/sbin/chkrootkit") found the following:

/usr/sbin/chkrootkit:1423:
${echo} >1 "$ROOTDIRproc/syslogk" > /dev/null 2>&1

This looks very strange, especially as I don't see a variable echo being
assigned anywhere.  I'm not quite sure what is intended here so I don't
try to speculate about a correct patch, sorry.

Best regards, Thomas
