Description of problem: Why is /usr/bin/chkrootkit linked to /usr/bin/consolehelper? The result is that you can't run 'chkrootkit' unless you are on the console. Furthermore, even if you are on the console, 'chkrootkit' won't run within a 'screen' (/usr/bin/screen) chkrootkit is exactly one of those types of programs that one would like to run remotely to check whether a server has been hacked. Even worse, when you run chkrootkit remotely, it just exits quietly giving the unknowing user no indication of what is going on. Now I know that you can alternatively just run /usr/lib/chkrootkit-0.47/chkrootkit, but the unsuspecting user wouldn't know that and would not understand why /usr/bin/chkrootkit is not working when not on a console. At a minimum, if not run from the console, it should return a message instructing the user to either run it from the console or to run /usr/lib/chkrootkit-0.47/chkrootkit directly.
