| Hi,
| 
| yes, it's a RH 7 Distribution and i think i solved the riddle. After
| kill one of those processes our Marketing Director came in and was
| crying about "no more internet" on his Windows Box.
| 
| It seems that the Windows 2000 Pro Version "hook" a permanent
| connection to the named. If kill, there are not able to create
| a new one ;) So the poor User have no DNS and therefore no more
| www.
| 
| But why the 'ps' output dont show them?

This has to do with the way Red Hat handles threaded processes.  You can
safely ignore the output from chkrootkit saying you're infected.
