My fire wall firestarter says I have cheese worm trying to talk on 10008 yet I can't find any sign of it; no /tmp.cheese and a clean sweep with KlamAV of the whole system.
I just had aMule start by its self with my whole / dir shared! It crashed every time I tried to change that.
Should I be worried?
Security issue!

Well, I wouldn't like it, especially given your aMule situation. It was supposedly an attempt to close a port opened by the Linux.lion.worm and wasn't considered harmful when first released years ago. I'd try to find and remove:
Linux.Cheese.Worm
Take a look at your /etc/inetd.conf to see if it's been modified too. You sound like you're aware of it, so I may not be telling you anything you don't already know.
I'd also emerge and run rkhunter, just cuz it's a good idea.
Run that regularly if you don't already. I've never had a problem with the cheese.worm myself, and am basically trying to remember the discussions and solutions I heard. Maybe someone else actually had to deal with it and can offer more information. Good-luck!

emerge -v rkhunter
