I am using "PKGMGR=RPM". I guess RPM doesn't solve this issue because the file 
is "non-standard", i.e. it is a link to jail_safe_passwd.

No, same issue for this file. It appears to be included in the internal lists 
as well - it is 1 of only 2 files being scanned during the file properties 
check in directory /usr/local/cpanel/bin/ (which has lots of files; the other 
checked file is /usr/local/cpanel/bin/adduser). I find this a bit strange, 
though: Including jail_safe_passwd in the internal list means that some 
importance has been placed on it. But then it should be a known fact that the 
file will cause regular false warnings on any cPanel server, without an option 
to prevent that?

Is jail_safe_passwd really on the internal lists?

Besides:
Is there really no way to completely ignore a file from the internal lists from 
the properties test? Can the files be removed from the internal lists (for that 
test)?

Or can such files be excluded for all tests? Well, I could run an automatic 
"--propupd" on these files just before every run of RKH, but that's probably 
not the best idea?

Thanks!
Daniel
