Package: rkhunter Version: 1.3.0-1 Severity: normal Hi,
I suggest the following improments of the cron scripts:
· In the daily script, you check for “! $NICE”, but you source the
defaults config after this. I think better is something like this:
. /etc/default/rkhunter
if [ -z "$NICE" ]; then
NICE=0
fi
or to check for numbers:
case "$NICE" in
[0-9]|[01][0-9]) ;;
*) NICE=0;;
esac
But I prefer the first one.
· What do you check with “[ $(stat -c %s $OUTFILE) -ne 0 ]”? Is this the
same as “[ -s "$OUTFILE" ]”?
· (weekly script) Is it intended that the OUTFILE gets overwritten by the
second call of rkhunter? Otherwise you should use this line:
($RKHUNTER --versioncheck; $RKHUNTER --update) 1>/dev/null 2>$OUTFILE
or use >> in the second call.
Bye, Jörg.
