I have been using RKH for some time now mainly on a CentOS 4.2 box but
more recently on a Scientific Linux 5.0 box.  Both the systems are of
course derivatives of RHEL.

On my SL5.0 box I get the following message (RKH 1.2.9):

"
* Filesystem checks
   Checking /dev for suspicious files...   [ OK ]
   Scanning for hidden files...  [ Warning! ]
---------------
/etc/.pwd.lock
/etc/.java /usr/share/man/man1/..1.gz /dev/.udev
---------------
Please inspect: /etc/.java (directory) /usr/share/man/man1/..1.gz (gzip
compressed data, from Unix, max compression)  /dev/.udev (directory)
"

I've checked these out and they all look benign.  I can deal with the
/etc/.pwd.lock issue simply by erasing the file and I am pretty sure that
the others are a symptom of RHEL5.0 inherited by SL5.0.

There's a nicer way to suppress these warnings. Add (or uncomment) the following in your rkhunter.conf:

ALLOWHIDDENDIR=/etc/.java
ALLOWHIDDENDIR=/dev/.udev
ALLOWHIDDENFILE=/usr/share/man/man1/..1.gz
ALLOWHIDDENFILE=/etc/.pwd.lock
