You mean this message:

Never got a significant answer, although someone suggested if I did have a
root kit I'd see other unusual activity, and I've seen none.

Does anyone on the linuxmanagers list know why I might have seen an
increase in this file?  I'd flushed the firewall the day before I sent the
first email and kcore is still the same size.
