having installed and got working rkhunter, I get the following warning:

* Filesystem checks
   Checking /dev for suspicious files...                      [ OK ]
   Scanning for hidden files...                               [ Warning! ]
---------------
 /dev/.static
/dev/.udevdb
/dev/.initramfs-tools /etc/.pwd.lock
---------------
Please inspect:  /dev/.static (directory)  /dev/.udevdb (directory)


I run ubuntu and, as a user, cannot look at the /dev/.static directory and
the /dev/.udevdb is full of things like block at hda@hda4

Should I worry?

Dick
