freebsd security - Sep 2003 - chkrotkit 4.1 and FreeBSD 4.5

Hello!

I've found that on two FreeBSD 4.5-RELEASE boxes chkrootkit finds:

Checking `chfn'... INFECTED
Checking `chsh'... INFECTED
Checking `date'... INFECTED
Checking `ls'... INFECTED
Checking `ps'... INFECTED

recompiling, say, ls from souces didn't help. False positive or source
changed as well?

False positive. chkrootkit for some reason I could not understand thinks that
4.5-RELEASE is 5.*
