Because it was the official way to get updates.

What does hashupd.sh script do? I assume it downloads latest hashes
from internet? When I ran it, it said:
[INFO] Found release: "Fedora Core release 5 (Bordeaux) (i386)"
[INFO] "Fedora Core release 5 (Bordeaux) (i386)" is seq nr 721
[INFO] updated hashes.

Ah, I found in SF hashupd release Notes:

hashupd is an unofficial, community-provided, supported hack to update RKH's 
defaulthashes.dat database when --update doesn't provide updates.

Please use "-m" then review and post new hashes for inclusion in RKH to the 
rkhunter-users mailinglist.

So as I understand hashupd.sh updated local defaulthashes.dat with
hashes of binaries on my system? If so, how should I post these updated
hashes to SF bug tracking system? Or should I use "-m" and send it to [EMAIL 
PROTECTED]
