Hi. Version was 1.2.8.tar.gz, but I think it may have been my fault. I DL'd the file using Konqueror, and at least on FC1, and FC2 it has the habit of unpacking it and displaying all the files in the file manager, or is that Ark, I'm not sure. Anyway I extracted it and put it in the directory where the rkhunter stuff lives. I installed rkhunter from the directory that was created by the extract mechanism. Running update gave me quite a lot of output, but ended up with an error. Ran update again, and got a very short output showing error. I looked in mirrors.dat and saw there were none. I then deleted /usr/local/bin/rkhunter, and the directory in /usr/local/rkhunter, then DL'd the tarball again, this time dragging it into Kget, so that it DL'd intact. Then installed it again in the usual manner, and this time there was no problem with update. btw. Is there a way to uninstall apps using ./installer.sh, or is it just a case of deleting the files as I did? Thanks for your concern. Nigel. ps: rkhunter is on FC5's extras repo, or was it freshrpms? It runs regularly as a cron job, and keeps logs. It also e-mails, but I only use Kmail, and have no idea how to read the mail. Thats another question for another day.
