I am having this same problem with rkhunter 1.30 on SLES 10 The report from the cronjob is showing:
Checking rkhunter data files... Checking file mirrors.dat[34C[ No update ] Checking file programs_bad.dat[29C[ No update ] Checking file backdoorports.dat[28C[ No update ] Checking file suspscan.dat[33C[ No update ] Checking file i18n/cn[38C[ No update ] Checking file i18n/en[38C[ Updated ] and I am running /usr/local/bin/rkhunter --update --nocolors It looks like the "[34C" etc are spaces in X11; the number is different depending on the length of the line. I have tried both -x and -X to autodetect (or not) X with no success. The machine is actually not running X. /usr/local/bin/rkhunter -c --cronjob --summary comes out OK. /usr/local/bin/rkhunter -c --sk --nocolors looks fine on the screen, but in the cron report comes out like: Checking system commands... Performing 'strings' command checks Checking 'strings' command[31C[ OK ] Performing 'shared libraries' checks Checking for preloading variables[24C[ None found ] Checking for preload file[32C[ Not found ] Checking LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable[24C[ Not found ] Performing file properties checks Checking for prerequisites[31C[ OK ] /bin/awk[49C[ OK ] /bin/basename[44C[ OK ] /bin/bash[48C[ OK ] etc. -- Pam Patterson ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
