If you can, then I would say yes. The application check is not very
good, and invariably gives false-positives. There are later versions of
Apache than 1.3.33, but for all I know (or rkhunter knows) is that you
or your distribution have actually patched Apache, but not changed the
version number. Hence, the check does not really help the user.
