Don't know TRD. Rootkits, though, we use rkhunter here.

And hostnames pointed to 127.0.0.1... I have a ton of them. #1 on the list
that points to that is, of course, doubleclick.com (and .net). It's a nice
way to get rid of ads, and speed up page loading.... Check, for example,
<http://someonewhocares.org/hosts/>

       mark, who remembers the good old days of usenet
