Is chkrootkit confused?
Yes and no. It correctly detects that your /sbin/init is something hideous
and nasty, but fails to realise that it's something hideous and nasty that
Fedora ships 8)
In all seriousness its a bug in chkrootkit, which has been reported
repeatedly and ignored repeatedly. It treats the linked /sbin/init as
suspicious because some rootkits did exactly that.
Nothing encourages disregarding warnings like a daily false alarm. It's a shame,
but I but lots of people ignore or disable it because of that.
