I was able to locate rootkit at:
http://www.rootkit.nl/projects/rootkit_hunter.html/.

I haven't tried rkhunter.  Instead, I tried the rootkit detection
that's part of Suse and came up with false positives.  A HD wipe and
reinstall of Suse and another scan with the rootkit detection resulted
in the same two false positives.  It was recommended that I try
rkhunter.  Haven't been able to make time, yet.
