Correct me if I am wrong doesnt chkrootkit only check system files for kits.
Loos like he just downloaded normal tools not having any back doors in them. A
eggdrop it self it is not considered a trojan unless it is not wanted. But how
does chkrootkit know if it is wanted or not.

I also would not rely on chkrootkit. I ran a root war once where i downloaded
the gunu source for the su command backdoored it with a second arg and
installed it using touch to change the date. chkrootkit did not detect this
change.
