rkhunter is a tool to detect rootkits installed on your system and suspicious |
2 |
file changes. In order for rkhunter to run these checks, it maintains a catalog |
3 |
of files and their properties installed on your system so it can compare |
4 |
current files and statusses against the ones recorded in its database. |

Out of the box rkhunter is configured to give as few false positives as |
7 |
possible on a Mageia system. Still, despite this, you might want to change some |
8 |
of its configuration options yourself to best suit you. The file used for this |
9 |
is /etc/rkhunter.conf |

Upon an initial install, rkhunter will create the databases it needs itself. On |
12 |
upgrades and during regular use, you may want to update its databases yourself |
13 |
by executing: |
14 |
rkhunter --propupd |
15 |
before running any other rkhunter checks yourself. |
