Good afternoon, I'm glad that they're probably not a problem. Thank-you.
I'm a home user, not a sys. admin. or security person. The other thing I really need to know is how to "acknowledge" the warnings so that they don't keep coming up. (The warning on "locate" has been coming up for a few weeks now.) I'd like to be able to each Thursday, enter dnf upgrade and when that's done, enter rkhunter --check and know that it will check everything, including the things I was warned on a week ago, but only see new warnings if something got corrupted since the last rkhunter scan. If something was not touched by this Thursday's "dnf upgrade", and was not changed since the last rkhunter scan was done, I should not see another warning on that item. Also, I should not see a warning on an item that "dnf upgrade" did touch if that was done cleanly. How do I get this behavior? thanks, Bill. On 04/21/2016 02:15 PM, G.W.
