[plug] GAM SERVER - chkrootkit ? - solved thanks

[Ranime]

I upgraded chkrootkit to 0.45a from 0.43
 and now the output reads 'not infected'

the explanations I have been given of 'GAM SERVER' make sense and so 
seem to be a natural part of the mandriva linux system.

Thanks to all for help and advise given.
now I shall persist happily with upgrading all boxes to mandriva 2006.
