Hello,

You didn't say what distribution of linux you were running. I suspect
the above situation is possible if you install rkhunter from the
distribution (e.g. via yum when using Fedora), rather than using the
sources. If you then run 'rkhunter --check' the installed 'rkhunter' may
well have the correct size, date/times etc *if* the maintainer installed
a copy of the rkhunter file properties database file too (that is,
rkhunter.dat). The only change then might well be the inode number.
(However I would have thought running 'rkhunter --propupd' as part of
the post-installation during installation would have been best.)

You could try running 'rkhunter --propupd' to ensure the file properties
file is up to date.
