I have chkrootkit running as a nightly cron job and I use diff to compare the current with the previous output. Recently I've been getting vast amounts of output - mainly related to phpmyadmin code (see below). Is there any way that I can stop this from occurring?

That doesn't look like any chkrootkit output I've ever seen. How sure are you that's what's producing it?

I have chkrootkit running in a script that produces text when the output of chkrootkit differs from the previous run. So it is produced by chkrootkit.

I have a pretty similar output. I think it has begun after an update, but I'm not sure.

chkrootkit scans /tmp and /var/tmp for files containing the string "php" in the first line. That matches the files php stores session data in, that's where the funny looking output comes from.

I use chkrootkit now and then from the commandline.
The newest is from jan 10,so I don't think it has anything to do with an upgrade.

Yes, I think you are right. My output contains infos about ebuilds and I found eix temp files.

Thanks for this clarification!
