    Package: chkrootkit
    Version: 0.43-1
    Severity: minor


    margot:~# chkrootkit -q
    INFECTED (PORTS: 465)
    margot:~# netstat -ap |grep 465
    margot:~# telnet localhost 465
    Trying 127.0.0.1...
    Connected to localhost.
    Escape character is '^]'.
    ^]
    telnet> close
    Connection closed.
    margot:~# grep 465 /etc/services
    ssmtp 465/tcp smtps # SMTP over SSL
    margot:~# grep ssmtp /etc/inetd.conf
    ssmtp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/sslwrap \
    -cert /etc/sslwrap/mail.pem -addr 127.0.0.1 -port 25

    I double-checked with 'openssl s_client', and it's a legitimate
    SMTP-over-SSL service running on port 465.
