On my FreeBSD I get this in the log file of rkhunter. I don't understand what
the warning is for, the log file doesn't explain it.

[13:58:05]   Performing check for possible rootkit strings
[13:58:05] Info: Starting test name 'possible_rkt_strings'
[13:58:05] Warning: Checking for possible rootkit strings    [ Warning ]
[13:58:05]          No system startup files found.
[13:58:05]


Also I get warnings like this:
[13:57:24] /usr/bin/whatis                                   [ Warning ]
[13:57:24] Warning: The command '/usr/bin/whatis' has been replaced by a script:
/usr/bin/whatis: Bourne shell script text executable
[13:57:27] /usr/sbin/adduser                                 [ Warning ]
[13:57:27] Warning: The command '/usr/sbin/adduser' has been replaced by a
script: /usr/sbin/adduser: Bourne shell script text executable

And more of them for other files that also normally are scripts on freebsd...

These are completely normal on FreeBSD and should not be warned for.


Another one is this. As far as I know it is normal for the psedo interface pflog
to be promisc? It is used for the pf firewall on FreeBSD. (FreeBSD supports
three different firewalls)
[13:59:07]   Checking for promiscuous interfaces             [ Warning ]
[13:59:07] Warning: Possible promiscuous interfaces:
[13:59:07]          'ifconfig' command output: pflog0:
flags=141<UP,RUNNING,PROMISC> mtu 33208

Another one:
[13:59:12] Info: Found password file: /etc/passwd
[13:59:12]   Checking for root equivalent (UID 0) accounts   [ Warning ]
[13:59:12] Warning: Account 'toor' is root equivalent (UID = 0)

Again completely normal. toor is root but with bash shell. root uses csh. This
is standard on FreeBSD.

I hope these issues get fixed
