It should come back as xterm. If you are getting something else, you may
want to do a little digging to find out why and what has changed. One of
the best things you can do is grab the chkrootkit.tar.gz file
ftp://ftp.pangeia.com.br/pub/seg/pac/chkrootkit.tar.gz and check your
system out. 

tar -xvzf chkrootkit.tar.gz
cd into the directory
chmod 755 chkrootkit
./chkrootkit and let it run.
