Bug#607224: rkhunter complains about files from the unhide package

Hi,

 rkhunter keeps sending out emails with the following text:
 
 Warning: The file '/usr/sbin/unhide' exists on the system, but it is
 not present in the rkhunter.dat file.
 Warning: The file '/usr/sbin/unhide-linux26' exists on the system, but
 it is not present in the rkhunter.dat file.

This is a known problem which has already been reported, but thanks for
reminding me I should really do something.

Actually, the problem comes from the fact rkhunter recommends unhide, and if
both packages are installed at the same time, unhide isn't yet unpackacked
when rkhunter creates its metadata database.

As a quick workaround, you can simply run 'rkhunter --propupd', just make
sure your system is clean before doing that.

I think a possible solution might be to add a trigger, but I will need time
as I would like to make something more general which would allow me to
improve the way the database is updated (see other bug reports on this
subject).

Cheers,
Julien

Bug#607224: rkhunter complains about files from the unhide package

2010-12-15 Thread Steinar Bang
Package: rkhunter
Version: 1.3.2-6
Severity: normal

rkhunter keeps sending out emails with the following text:

Warning: The file '/usr/sbin/unhide' exists on the system, but it is
not present in the rkhunter.dat file.
Warning: The file '/usr/sbin/unhide-linux26' exists on the system, but
it is not present in the rkhunter.dat file.

These files are installed by the unhide-20100201-1 package
 http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/unhide

Unhide is a tool to find processes and ports hidden by rootkits, and
thus in the same line of business as rkhunter.
