Oh I'm terrribly sorry!! I just now saw that indeed rkhunter had logged the update to that .de language file. It shows it as having been updated on Jan 8 and then Jan 9 is when it came to my attention. I don't know how I missed that before; sorry to have troubled you with my questions!
And yes, on ubuntu studio 12.10 --update and --versioncheck both seem to be done via a weekly cron job. Thanks again, and very best to everybody, Sam On Mon, Jan 13, 2014, at 18:24, John Horne wrote: > If you installed rkhunter as a package (e.g. as an RPM file or via > 'yum'), then it is possible that the packager included a cron job which > will run 'rkhunter --update' for you every so often. > > > > John. > > On 13/01/14 13:32, Sam Ashley wrote: > > Hi John, > > > > Thanks for your note.
