[Rkhunter-users] Some questions after upgrade

2007-10-23 Thread Arthur Dent
Hello folks, I have a small home network which I am fairly sure (thanks largely to RKHunter) is not actually compromised in any way. I recently upgraded to 1.3.0 and, having done so, decided to give it a good run by turning all pretty much all of the tests to see what would happen. This has

Well I'm beginning to make real progress here. My aim is to have a completely clean sheet with RKH running as many tests as possible. So far, point no. 1 (strange characters in cron output) has been cleared up nicely with the use of the --nocolors option. Thanks. Point no. 2 (deleted files).

Hello all, I have recently upgraded my Fedora box from FC6 to F8. I did not simply copy across my rkhunter.conf file, but gradually re-introduced the configurations step-by-step to see what would need to be changed. I have now eliminated all the errors and warnings except one: Warning: The

[Rkhunter-users] hsperfdata

2011-07-20 Thread Arthur Dent
Hello All, I have a couple of Java applications running on this machine. A bit of googling has shown me that when they run they create a file called hsperfdata_{USER}/{NUMBER} which apparently helps with performance somehow. The location of this file is (again, apparently) hard-coded as /tmp/.

I know you are probably going to (gently) remind me that this is probably an issue for the Fedora list, but following Kevin Fenzi's reply to my previous thread, in which he said that the the latest updates were shortly about to go into the Fedora stable repository, I decided to to a yum update.
