Hello, I just installed rkhunter. I received this output: Anything to worry about? Thanks, s-f-r-j

Could be. Did you look at the scripts themselves?

No sir, i did not. What\how - should i do? Thanks, s-f-r-j

Well you could take a look at the script and see if there's anything obvious, although sometimes it's disguised pretty well.

I've seen those before, they were false positives at least for myself. Make sure rkhunter is up to date: rkhunter --update

I compared them with other OS, nothing unusual for me. It is up2date. How can i whitelist those listed above? Thanks, s-f-r-j

Probably fine then. I get those warnings all the time, but usually for the same files, never gotten them for the ifup and ifdown scripts. There is a SCRIPTWHITELIST variable in rkhunter.conf

Is this where i do that? # # Allow the specified commands to be scripts. # # This is a space-separated list of filenames. The option may # be specified more than once. The option may use wildcard # characters. # #SCRIPTWHITELIST="/sbin/ifup /sbin/ifdown" #SCRIPTWHITELIST="/usr/bin/groups" # # Allow the specified commands to have the immutable attribute set. # # This is a space-separated list of filenames. The option may # be specified more than once. The option may use wildcard # characters. # #IMMUTWHITELIST="/sbin/ifup /sbin/ifdown" Remove # ? Thanks, s-f-r-j
