Hi,
there is a remote (VPS) Centos 4.2 server which *may* have been compromised. Reinstalling everything from scratch isn't a problem, it may even be an occasion to improve a few things, the question is another.
I use rkhunter and chkrootkit. I run them regularly.
If you keep your machine clean, then your backups will be, too.
If you get compromised, then your backups since compromise are suspect.

When I tried yum -y install chkrootkit.i386 I got... No package chkrootkit.i386 available.
When I tried yum -y install rkhunter.noarch I got... No package rkhunter.noarch available.
These were the two names mentioned on my yum list, so I updated my yum list (yum -y list > yum.list), and I find that neither is present anymore.
