I take it it is not the rkhunter (RKH) log file - usually found as /var/log/rkhunter.log. Second point is that RKH tends not to create things in /tmp but in its own tmp directory (usually /var/lib/rkhunter/tmp). If you send a sample of what is in the file, then we may have a better idea of what it is.

However, there was no direct replacement and, to be honest, I cannot remember what it actually did. However, I would suggest trying the '--rwo' option instead (or '--report-warnings-only'; the man page for rkhunter will have more details). This tells RKH to not display anything except warnings; usually useful for cron jobs. The README file has more info and examples of settings for cron jobs.
