This bug makes RKhunter mostly unusable without altering the crontab entry to not report this.
Here's why: getting a report from rkhunter needs to be a serious event, one where people take notice and fix a root kit, a possible intrusion into the system. If rkhunter is giving false positives, then it's really difficult to know when it's serious (the machine has been rooted) or when it's not (some hidden normal dir in /dev/) How has this been unresolved since 2008? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/219840 Title: rkhunter reports hidden directories under /dev To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rkhunter/+bug/219840/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
