chkrootkit does not maintain a list of all "things which might be
suspicious but arnt", there are too many possibilities: "use it with a
gran of salt" is the only way things like that can work for everyone.

instead it provides several ways to filter results or hide things from
the results. See /usr/share/doc/chkrootkit/README.FALSE-POSITIVES.gz
