Ok thanks for this. No idea why these two files would have changed, as
checking various other 32bit servers there's no problems. I have about another
6 64bit linux boxes still running rkhunter 1.2.9 (but they are SL5.1, not
SL4.5 as above) but I'll see if I find a similar problem there when I have the
time to update those.

For now I've just whitelisted those two files on both those two servers.

Thanks again.

Michael.
