1 Hello,
2
3 I have had rkhunter installed for a long time, been working well, system
4 was reporting clean...
5
6 On Saturday I did an emerge -uDN world and installed the available
7 updates (not a huge amount), then on Sunday morning, got a report about
8 6 files whose properties had changed, and I realized I forgot to run
9 --propupd command, so I did - but got the same email again, so it isn't
10 working (doesn't reset the files database so that it thinks they are
11 ok). I still get the same email/message about the same 6 files
12 properties being changed. I've tried running it 3 times now.
