/var/log/rkhunter.log - rkhunter's (rootkit detection) logfile


Hi all

rkhunter produced the following /var/log/rkhunter.log
log file sections and I could use your informed interpretation

1. First 2 sections: What are these 2 file warnings about ?

2. Third section: 'possible rkt string' - What is it ?

3. Fourth section: I did not request rkhunter to have any testing disabled !!!

Where should i start ?

Arye

If you installed RKH and ran it without first reading the README then you probably also didn't run 'rkhunter --propupd'.
