[Bug 602734] [NEW] ifpromisc reports PACKET SNIFFER for /usr/sbin/dhcpd3

[Christian Reis]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: chkrootkit

This seems to be a regression from previous versions. Here's what I am
seeing on Lucid:

  ii  chkrootkit     0.49-3         rootkit detector

  kiko at anthem:~$ sudo /usr/lib/chkrootkit/ifpromisc 
  lo: not promisc and no packet sniffer sockets 
  eth2: not promisc and no packet sniffer sockets
  eth1: PACKET SNIFFER(/usr/sbin/dhcpd3[3805])
  eth0: not promisc and no packet sniffer sockets

I think dhcpd3 is safe to run, and based on what I've seen in a debian
bug report, this has been fixed before. I just wonder if it's regressed
or if this is a new problem in old clothing.
