[Rkhunter-users] How to disable the "lsmod" and "/proc/modules" warning?

Dear rkhunter users,

on one of my systems, I'm experiencing the following entries in the
rkhunter logfiles:

Warning: No output found from the lsmod command or the /proc/modules file:
/proc/modules output:
lsmod output:

Is there a way to disable this check?
The kernel on this machine is not configured to support modules so it's
perfectly fine that the output of lsmod and the contents of
/proc/modules are empty.

Regards,

Well but then _ALL_ os_spcific tests would be disabled. What's part of
the os_specific test suite? It's just that this warning is annoying,
but I'd rather live with it instead of disabling other possibly useful
tests.

ciao,

Oh, OK, great, thanks for your answer!

curl almost always comes as a dependency to something else.
Since you're running Ubuntu, you can check if the file in /usr/bin/curl
really belongs to a package on your system with the command:

dpkg -S /usr/bin/curl

No, you do not need to update rkhunter itself, but update the
properties file rkhunter stores after every invocation.
rkhunter monitors system directories for new files every time it is run, 
to make sure noone put new files in there without you knowing
about that.

So anytime you do install new tools, you need to run `rkhunter 
--propupd` (== properties update, not program update) to make
sure the new files get included in this list.

If you want to know if the file /usr/bin/curl is really coming from
the curl package and not by someone else, you can verify its checksum
against the checksum stored in your package repository.

To do that, simply `cd` to your system root and run md5sum to verify
the md5sums like this:

thor:/# md5sum -c /var/lib/dpkg/info/curl.md5sums

This is most likely because you installed curl and haven't updated your 
rkhunter propertiers file with the `rkhunter --propupd` command, could
that be true?
