What did you try to do with /var/log/rkhunter.log? It is not an
executable file. You need to have root priviledge to view it.
[jmccarty]$ ls -l /var/log/rkhunter.log
-rw------- 1 root root 3119 Oct 8 15:18 /var/log/rkhunter.log
[jmccarty]$ cat /var/log/rkhunter.log
cat: /var/log/rkhunter.log: Permission denied
[jmccarty]$ su -
Password:
[root]# cat /var/log/rkhunter.log

You might find the "less" command easier to use than "cat"
for viewing the file, as it's a little large for a screen.
Are you familiar with permissions, and the superuser root?
If not, then perhaps you and I can exchange some information
off list, as those issues are not related to rkhunter, but
general knowledge of these matters are required properly
to use it.
