chkrootkit 0.49 runtime binaries not found

[dazuelos (dan)]

MacOS X: 10.8.3

port install chkrootkit

--> OK

On running it, a few related binaries are not found:

Checking `sniffer'... not tested: can't exec ./ifpromisc
Checking `wted'... not tested: can't exec ./chkwtmp
Checking `z2'... not tested: can't exec ./chklastlog
Checking `chkutmp'... not tested: can't exec ./chkutmp

These binaries are correctly installed:

$ ls -l /opt/local/bin/chkutmp
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  admin  4296 Nov 25 16:31 /opt/local/bin/chkutmp

How may I fix the original presentation of this ticket which was correctly written but ended up as a piece of bulk unreadable text? All returns were eaten leading to endless lines, and I saw this formatting uggliness after having spent too much time formatting a decent message?

I've fixed it; see WikiFormatting for more information.

chkrootkit appears to expect you to run it from the directory it was compiled in. I'll see if I can fix it to work from its installed location.

Thank for the fix + thank for the doc ;). Is there any easy way to ask for a Wiki interface where a typed 'return' means

return?

Is this such a foolish request?

We use Trac, so we're bound to its wiki syntax.

I think you rightly analysed the fault (use of ./ rather than standard PATH).

How may I test it?

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Run:

sudo port selfupdate
sudo port upgrade outdated
