Package: chkrootkit Version: 0.49-1 Severity: normal Because the daily cron job runs with 'set -e' it fails whenever chkrootkit exits with a non-zero exit code. However because chkrootkit tests in the order $TROJAN $TOOLS (internal external) the exit code of the script is whatever happens to be the exit code of the last external tool.
Previously the last external tool was chkutmp a standalone program that returns with an exit code of 0 on succes. With the addition of OSX_RSPLUG to the list the exit code of the script is now the exit code of the OSX_RSPLUG test. Normally it returns NOT_INFECTED. Which is defined as 1. Hence the non-zero exit code. See the difference: # chkrootkit chkutmp; echo $? ROOTDIR is `/' Checking `chkutmp'... chkutmp: nothing deleted 0 and # chkrootkit OSX_RSPLUG; echo $? ROOTDIR is `/' Checking `OSX_RSPLUG'... not infected 1 Maybe the script should contain an explicit 'exit 0' at the end to indicate that all went well?
