Hi John,

Thanks for your note. I'm afraid I didn't phrase my original question
very well; sorry for that. What had me confused was that I had not
recently done any software updates!, and so had not done

/usr/bin/rkhunter --update

but I don't think I made that at all clear in my email, sorry. (I did
read the man page, but since I (believed I) hadn't initiated a software
update I was confused; now I'm doubly confused because I'm wondering if
there was a delay between an update and when I got the news... never
mind)

I was asking to the mailing list because I was wondering if rkhunter
logs things like updates to the language files, with time stamps.

At any rate thanks again for a very nice program!!

Best,
Sam
