Description Heitzso 2004-07-01 07:19:59 UTC 
the chkrootkit script sets STRINGS near the top
to /usr/sbin/strings-static
BUT, later down in the script it does NOT
use that variable, but rather calls as
"./strings-static" which will break whenever
the script does not start in /usr/sbin

Appears someone half fixed the problem.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.start chkrootkit in directory other than /usr/sbin
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
reports failure to find strings-static

Expected Results:  
used the STRINGS variable that someone setup 
for chkrootkit so it can find /usr/sbin/strings-static
