Hi all, First, thanks for rkhunter!!
Out of the proverbial blue a user and a group both called "ntp" are reported as having been added to passwd. The strange thing is that it doesn't seem that I did anything to cause that, I mean specifically just before these warnings started to be reported by rkhunter. The first thing I did was to search the interwebs with the specific error message from rkhunter and didn't get anything back that would indicate a problem. I did learn that ntp is a mechanism for syncing the computer's clock, so assuming it's legit then I'd certainly expect that it's fine for it to be there. I looked through every log I could think of, including the apt logs (package manager; Ubuntu Studio 12.10) just to refresh my memory about system updates, and it really does seem fine, tho I'm no expert. I'm running rkhunter on a laptop, which might seem over cautious, but to me it seems like a good idea. Sorry if this question is too n00b for this forum. It was just the fact that I don't think I installed anything just prior to these messages that would account for it, so I'm confused by that. Thanks again!
