No, not necessarily. Look in the log file, it says:

====================================================================
[23:11:06] Warning: Checking for prerequisites               [ Warning ]
[23:11:06]          The file of stored file properties (rkhunter.dat)
                    does not exist, and so must be created. To do this
                    type in 'rkhunter --propupd'.
[23:11:06]
[23:11:06] Warning: WARNING! It is the users responsibility to ensure
           that when the '--propupd' option is used, all the files on
           their system are known to be genuine, and installed from a
           reliable source. The rkhunter '--check' option will compare
           the current file properties against previously stored values,
           and report if any values differ. However, rkhunter cannot
           determine what has caused the change, that is for the user to
           do.
====================================================================

So, run 'rkhunter --propupd' if you are happy with your system. Then
re-run 'rkhunter --check'. Most of the warnings refer to things that can
be whitelisted - look in the RKH configuration file (rkhunter.conf).

One warning refers to the rc.sysinit file - I'm not sure that that is
right. I'll look in to it.
