I would expect latest version to read 1.4.4, unless I am
misinterpreting
that as well.
sudo rkhunter --versioncheck and then check the rkhunter.log for
details.
It supposed to find the current version at
<http://rkhunter.sourceforge.net
/1.4/rkhunter_latest.dat> which does show 1.4.4, so is version 1.4.2
looking in the correct location and what, if anything, does it find?

OK, I see the problem. Version 1.4.2 is looking in the wrong place
<http://rk
hunter.sourceforge.net/1.3/rkhunter_latest.dat
<http://hunter.sourceforge.net/1.3/rkhunter_latest.dat>> which shows
1.4.2. Should be
an easy fix to just change that page to read "1.4.4".
Just changed the file. So try using '--versioncheck' again.
John.
Works...
$ sudo /Volumes/Macintosh\ HD/Software\ Updates/Installed\ iMac\
i7/Older\ X\ Installs.noindex/rkhunter-1.4.2/files/rkhunter
--versioncheck
[ Rootkit Hunter version 1.4.2 ]
Checking rkhunter version...
This version : 1.4.2
Latest version: 1.4.4
Update available
I did miss in the man and docs pages that update is data files only, but
the lack of update availability notice had my attention. Thanks to both
of you for sting this out. Hopefully it will save others the time/concern.
