You will have to ask somebody who really knows how udev works to say what are those files for, or if some of them shouldn't be there and a bug is involved. But I don't feel they are a security risk, just things rkhunter doesn't know about and hasn't been updated to know.
I agree with Carlos. The best advice is to turn on Novell's AppArmor and forget about examining every little thing in the file system. /dev and /proc are virtual file systems anyway (the files in there don't even really exist on the disk), and best left to the system to manage. If you really want to know what is using a file do losf | grep "name of file" The basic advice is have a beer, its new years, you are not running windows, so stop worrying. Suse installs rather securely, Don't run any services you don't need and you will be fine. Unlike windows, you can put a fresh Suse install directly on the internet without a router or firewall and you will be quite safe. It sounds like someone read the same web-zine about root kit hunter that every other ex-windows-addict saw and didn't realize it was written by another ex-windows-addict, with no real understanding about Linux. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Yes, yes, but my mail and the OP's was sent to the opensuse-security list, whereas you ansered in the opensuse. Thus the OP may not see it. Just notice the subject line: Subject : Re: [opensuse] Re: [opensuse-security] Security report.... .....................................^^^^ See? :-) - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

No clue how that happened. I thought I just hit reply as usual. Oh, well, he probably wouldn't take my advice anyway. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
