Sorry for the confusion. I did copy the wrong statement in my last answer. Of course I had added the values shown below DISABLE_TESTS=passwd_changes group_changes deleted_files suspscan EXCLUDE_USER_FILEPROP_FILES_DIRS="etc/passwd"
But still after a change to /etc/passwd the command rkhunter --cronjob --rwo reports the following warning on my ubuntu 16.04 LTS. Warning: The file properties have changed: File: /etc/passwd Current hash: 8d8d9f0c04a5af1ad313b0fcf68e1bf0234964db8a6300330d5528cec0291306 Stored hash : a75a2f6cc6136ba5875078d4d96cdb7977ee764a681b2027b9fec9057aaa23d3 Current inode: 795718 Stored inode: 795719 Current size: 166673 Stored size: 166674 Current file modification time: 1529404430 (19-Jun-2018 12:33:50) Stored file modification time : 1529404397 (19-Jun-2018 12:33:17) Does it really work on your machine ?

That option says to monitor the file for changes. I said to use the 'EXCLUDE_USER_FILEPROP_FILES_DIRS' option.
