I'm running check-packages on a host and on last nights run I had the
following changes displayed;
52,55c52,55
< SM5....T   /usr/lib/perl5/pod/perlapio.pod
< SM5....T   /usr/lib/perl5/pod/perlbook.pod
< SM5....T   /usr/lib/perl5/pod/perlbot.pod
< SM5....T   /usr/lib/perl5/pod/perlcall.pod

> S.5..UGT   /usr/lib/perl5/pod/perlapio.pod
> S.5..UGT   /usr/lib/perl5/pod/perlbook.pod
> S.5..UGT   /usr/lib/perl5/pod/perlbot.pod
> S.5..UGT   /usr/lib/perl5/pod/perlcall.pod

Everything else was normal.
These files had some gif headers and other wierd stuff in them and were
now owned by "nobody" instead of root. 
System is (was) a fully patched 5.2 intel machine only running httpd,
sshd, & imapd. 

Now I am reloading the machine completely, taking it to 5.2, but has
anyone seen something like this?? Could it be whats left of a poorly
done rootkit??

I did save the files in question...
