Hello,
I was reading article from some of the magazines I get in email today
and ran across one about Root Kit Hunter for Linus, so I decided to
install and run it just to see what it said. It found no root kits, but
did give me a warning on the following five files.
[13:17:33] /bin/which [ Warning ]
[13:17:33] Warning: The command '/bin/which' has been replaced by a
script: /bin/which: POSIX shell script text executable
[13:17:35] /usr/bin/groups [ Warning ]
[13:17:35] Warning: The command '/usr/bin/groups' has been replaced by a
script: /usr/bin/groups: POSIX shell script text executable
[13:17:36] /usr/bin/ldd [ Warning ]
[13:17:36] Warning: The command '/usr/bin/ldd' has been replaced by a
script: /usr/bin/ldd: Bourne-Again shell script text executable
[13:17:40] /usr/bin/lwp-request [ Warning ]
[13:17:41] Warning: The command '/usr/bin/lwp-request' has been replaced
by a script: /usr/bin/lwp-request: perl script text executable
[13:17:43] /usr/sbin/adduser [ Warning ]
[13:17:43] Warning: The command '/usr/sbin/adduser' has been replaced by
a script: /usr/sbin/adduser: perl script text executable
Since this Root Kit Hunter isn't specifically designed for Ubuntu but
claimed to be cross platform for all Linux machines I would like to know
if it's normal for the preceding files to be scripts in Ubuntu Hardy
Heron instead of binary files.
Thanks, Ray Parrish
