Hi, folks,

   We're running CentOS 6.5, and rkhunter 1.4.0-2. My problem that's just
shown up, I think it was with the latest rkhunter update, is this: I've
got a user running jobs in R that run for days (not unusual around here
for jobs to run for days, or weeks). But R appears to use /dev/shm, and
of the three it creates (at least related to one job), one has a
prefix, one a postfix... and the main one has *nothing* other than a
random alphanumeric string as a filename.

   Now, I could just whitelist /dev/shm, but I'm *sure* there's malware
out there that makes use of that. So my question is, *should* I
whitelist /dev/shm, since I can't know in advance what the random name
is, or is there a better solution?

   Thanks in advance.

        mark
