Description

  • Rkhunter searches for rootkits and other abnormalities.


it needs the packages smeserver-rkhunter and rkhunter

Installation

  1. Log in (with username root) to the SMEserver console.
  2. Install smeserver-Rkhunter
    /usr/bin/yum install smeserver-rkhunter --enablerepo=smecontribs
    You will get a y/N-question, answer y if it looks fine. There is no need to reboot the server.
  3. you should then issue:
signal-event remoteaccess-update


Alternatively you can use the server-manager panel "Software installer" to add a new package and select smeserver-Rkhunter (repo smecontribs must be enabled) then do the reconfiguration and reboot task, instead of steps 1 and 2, then refresh your browser and configure Rkhunter,.


Editing configuration

as root you can check the current configuration :

db configuration show rkhunter
rkhunter=service
    DisableTests=apps,suspscan,system_commands
    status=enabled

to set a new value just issue ( where you change VALUE and OPTION by the appropriate data):

db configuration setprop rkhunter OPTION VALUE
signal-event remoteaccess-update

DisableTests

here you can set a string of disabled tests separated by ","(default is apps,suspscan,system_commands)

as an example you can avoid alert about deleted file by adding ,deleted_files ( see bug [SME: 3830])
