Hi, folks, rkhunter is reporting a broken link on one of our servers. This is quite reasonable, since it's on a drive whose controller card I have declared dead the other day. I've been googling, searching in the manpage, and I've done an rkhunter --propupd, but it still finds the broken link. Anyone know how to remove the link from the rkhunter d/b? mark

...rom rkhunterWarning: Checking for prerequisites [ Warning ] All file hash checks will be skipped because: This system uses prelinking, but the hash function command does not look like SHA1 or MD5. Now, googling, I find people saying to rm /etc/prelink.cache, then run rkhunter --propupd. Works. And then, prelink runs in the middle of the night, via /etc/cron.daily, and when the cron job of rkhunter runs, it's back to complaining. Anyone have any ideas what's going on here?

I updated java-1.7.0-openjdk a few hours ago - it *was* listed as a critical security update, and I don't want yelling from rkhunter. The man page tells me I can tell it rkhunter --propupd <package name>... but it doesn't know the name above as a package. Been googling a bit, and cannot find a good example of a package (other than the manpage's coreutil). Anyone got an example, and/or why it doesn't know this package? mark

...ng nfs-mounted directories. Certainly I, among others, log out at night (this runs in the middle of the night), and it doesn't complain on any other systems. One last thing: he's one of my most-knowledgeable users, and when he updates the system, he assures me he always runs rkhunter --propupd, so we're both confused. Any ideas? mark PS And if the CentOS *MUST* use nixspam, which I am *very* strongly of the opinion that we can find something better, is there no way to whitelist regular posters?
