hello,
haven't got time yet to install the program, but we think we'll need it to get working on our ubuntu 16.04. Suspect something strange that does need to get discovered and eliminated.

The advice I gave earlier was too terse, and I am sorry about that.
For the installation, I wouldn't use those commands from that page.
And I have different instructions for 1.4.3, the latest.
(assuming root in terminal
Code:
cd /usr/src/
wget http://rkhunter.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/rkhunter/rkhunter/?view=tar
mv index.html\?view\=tar rkhunter.tar.gz
tar zxf rkhunter.tar.gz
mv rkhunter rkhunter-1-4-3
cd rkhunter-1-4-3
./installer.sh --install
rkhunter --update
This method of installation is not managed by the apt package manager and its maintenance is entirely up to you,
and I would remove the package manager version before installing using this method.
Holler if you need additional help.
Attached is my wiki page on my rkhunter notes for the Ubuntu environment.
Thanks for your help, I used Synaptic to get it installed. According to the terminal check I have the latest version. But now, do I have to configure it ?, inside the terminal I got many # and at the end line ^G ^etc. etc. How can I e.g. under 'set up mail notifications' put in my email address, or does the system have that being 'root'. also how to I create a 'whitelist known script files ? Have not read your attachment though.

No, not the latest, but 1.4.2 version, tried to get 1.4.3 with no avail, also the website you described in yr previous thread, still doesn't have this version to download.

Did I say visit a website and install it?
Avail yourself of what the instructions said.
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RKhunter and the rkhunter.pdf I attached both discuss the edits necessary in /etc/rkhunter.conf.
/etc/rkhunter.conf is liberally commented.
