Re Upgrading I don't know if this is useful to anyone but I ran this on my Ubuntu server to update from 1.3.8 to 1.4.2 as a shell script in one go.
nano rkhunter-upgrade.sh pasted in below and then ran it with "sh rkhunter-upgrade.sh" #!/bin/sh #script to upgrade rkhunter mkdir /rkhunter-install cd rkhunter-install #Download latest version wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/rkhunter/rkhunter/1.4.2/rkhunter-$ tar xvfz rkhunter-1.4.2.tar.gz cd rkhunter-1.4.2 sudo ./installer.sh --install #There is a need to clear the cache hash -r # Note - edit the /etc/rkhunter.conf and set PKGMGR=DPKG from PKGMGR=NONE in debian - ubuntu systems sed -i 's/#PKGMGR=NONE/PKGMGR=DPKG/' /etc/rkhunter.conf # We used forced-commands-only but most environs the standard is to set to no # sed -i 's/ALLOW_SSH_ROOT_USER=no/ALLOW_SSH_ROOT_USER=forced-commands-only/' /etc/rkhunter.conf # Additions to the rkhunter.conf file. echo "# Custom Rules Added" >> /etc/rkhunter.conf echo "ALLOWHIDDENDIR=/dev/.udev" >> /etc/rkhunter.conf echo "ALLOWHIDDENDIR=/etc/.java" >> /etc/rkhunter.conf echo "ALLOWHIDDENFILE=/dev/.initramfs" >> /etc/rkhunter.conf echo "ALLOWHIDDENFILE=/dev/.blkid.tab" >> /etc/rkhunter.conf echo "ALLOWHIDDENFILE=/dev/.blkid.tab.old" >> /etc/rkhunter.conf echo "ALLOWDEVFILE=/dev/.udev/rules.d/root.rules" >> /etc/rkhunter.conf sudo rkhunter --versioncheck sudo rkhunter --update --propupd sudo rkhunter --checkall Dale Carter Managing Director www.gtp-icommerce.com www.gtphub.com (Time, Projects, Sales, CRM, E Marketing) +61 1300 856 533 +61 0411 352 766 -----Original Message----- From: John Horne [mailto:john.ho...@plymouth.ac.uk] Sent: Tuesday, 21 July 2015 11:22 PM To: RkhunterList Subject: [Rkhunter-users] Update problems - sourceforge FYI - Running 'rkhunter --update' may fail.
