And how about ncsd now we're at it? I guess the questions really are: What is nobody and ncsd for? Which security risk does it impose for those users to have root set as their home directory? In an optimal environment, where would their home directories be?

I run the Tiger Automatic Auditor on my Debian Linux system, and recently got emailed the following: # Running chkrootkit (/usr/sbin/chkrootkit) to perform further checks... OLD: --ALERT-- [rootkit005a] Chkrootkit has found a file which seems to be infected because of a rootkit OLD: --ALERT-- [rootkit009a] A rootkit seems to be installed in the system OLD: INFECTED (PORTS: 600) I immediately ran chkrootkit manually, and didn't see any warnings or unusual results. How can I tell whether this was a false positive?
