Hi,

of course I check logs.

For example, I often receive this kind of warnings:

(example from Debian server)

Warning: The file properties have changed:

         File: /usr/bin/perl

         Current hash: 10d1463ca9952340f54f90dcf6df816d9b6e4296

         Stored hash : d5b3b0dffdface2036d783b8770b385eb527e89f

         Current inode: 393362  Stored inode: 393364

         Current file modification time: 1496680638 (05-Jun-2017 18:37:18)

         Stored file modification time : 1469627943 (27-Jul-2016 15:59:03)


(example from CentOS with WHM server)

---------------------- Start Rootkit Hunter Scan ----------------------

Warning: Package manager verification has failed:

         File: /bin/su

         The file permissions have changed

         The file group has changed

Warning: Package manager verification has failed:

         File: /usr/bin/newgrp

         The file permissions have changed

I know that this is OK, as I recently upgraded perl on several Debian OS and 
WHM auto-updates itself every night.

My question is: how do you manage those situations?

Do you disable specific tests, as they report almost every day similar warnings?

Do you bypass control over specific file (eg. /bin/su, /usr/bin/newgrp)?

Thank you
