Description of problem: Running '/usr/lib/chkrootkit-0.47/chklastlog' returns the error message: unable to open lastlog-file /var/adm/lastlog The problem is that on Fedora Core systems, the location for lastlog is: /var/log/lastlog.
If you run chkrootkit tools manually, give them proper parameters.
What are the "proper parameters"?(In reply to comment #1) > If you run chkrootkit tools manually, give them proper parameters. > What are the "proper parameters"? There is no man page and the README.chklastlog doesn't mention any parameters...
chklastlog -l /var/log/lastlog -f /var/log/wtmp Look, this is a tool used by chkrootkit that is not even in standard path. So when you run it manually, it can be expected that you become familiar with it first. chkrootkit runs it, too. Please report the inaccurate README and the missing manual upstream at http://www.chkrootkit.org and keep this bug closed. I've patched chkrootkit for Fedora 7 to default to these two paths. But it is more important to get such changes into upstream chkrootkit.
