Thanks to all the people that sent their feed back.

It was able to detect a case of lion worm/t0rn
on one test computer infected via bind 8.2.2
with chkrootkit.

<update Re: Port Scan Question ...>
chkrootkit just happened to be running when i had
the problem that caused the computer to stop responding.

This happened while executing this part of chkrootkit =>

root     15763  0.0  0.5  1676  688 pts/0    D    09:19   0:00
/usr/bin/find /usr/lib /usr/man /lib -name .[A-Za-z]* -o -name ...* -o
-name .. *

this was the load avarage
load average: 31.99, 31.44, 29.77

It looks like the main problem (it happened again later)
was caused by a bad kernel. When i compiled
the 2.4.18 kernel on the RH7.0 there were several warnings, but no
errors. But it looks like the warnings were bad enough to make a
defective kernel.

kernel: Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 00002800
kernel: 00002800
kernel: *pde = 00000000
kernel: Oops: 0000
kernel: CPU:    0

My friend agreed to erase all traces of RH7.0 from that HD
there are quite a few better options out there.
