reinstalled system

[Richard Wilson]

All,

I saw this same error on a variety for Red Hat and Fedora systems,
always with a single "possible LKM Trojan installed".  I researched it
and found that the test that reports this compares the PID's reported by
'ps' against the list in /proc (each process will have a directory
in /proc named the same as the PID).  It's easy to get this off by one,
and I wouldn't be surprised to see it off by a few.  I went through and
compared the process counts against the directory entries and found
where the discrepancy was for my Fedora instance, but it was a painful
(and worried full) half hour to hour.

Hope this helps,

Rich Wilson
