 .

I tried to look at log ( had to look it up how ) and for example one of the warnings is this.... 

[09:58:56] Info: Starting test name 'passwd_changes'
[09:58:56]   Checking for passwd file changes                [ Warning ]
[09:58:56] Warning: User 'postfix' has been added to the passwd file.

Can someone please help me get rid of these or tell me whats wrong?

I started this because i suspect theres some rootkit in my system....

Thanks
