Hello list,

Has one any faced the problem with latest rootkit hunter ( 1.3.4 ) ? I have upgraded the rootkit hunter to 1.3.4 and after that it reports a huge warning. I don't know if the Warnings really indicate any hole in my system or it is just the rootkit hunter it self which creates false alarm. Below is the scan report. Any idea ?

<snip lots of warnings> Is this from /var/log/rkhunter.log, or you copy/pasted output from console? If you updated your $UNKNOWN_DISTRO , did you rebuild hash database(iirc) that rkhunter uses to check against ('rkhunter --propupd')? (Maybe it's run as a cron job daily, but my crystal ball is a bit murky :) ). Check (rather extensive )wiki at http://rkhunter.wiki.sourceforge.net/MPRKH#Contents
