First, if grep's corrupted, then it would seem as though you've been hit 
with an attack, and I'd strongly recommend reinstalling the kernel and 
basic utilities, at the very least, then get a new copy of chkrootkit, 
if you don't have one on a write-protected floppy, and run that.

Second, as a side note, I'd recommend that you upgrade or migrate your 
RH8 servers to something a little newer. The only thing I'm running 
anything that old (actually, 7.3), is on a hardened firewall/router box 
at home that has *nothing* on it except what it needs to do its job. I 
would not be running anything else on something that old, if for no 
other reason than bugfixes and known vulnerabilities that have been fixede.
