Description Brian Gaynor 2006-07-10 17:07:30 UTC
Description of problem:

When running rkhunter on multiple systems it can be difficult to easily identify
which email comes from which server (they all look alike). Adding the hostname
to the subject line (similar to the way logwatch does) would solve the problem.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

1.2.8

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run rkhunter on multiple boxes with the emails forwarded to a single account
2. ???
3. Profit
  
Actual results:


Expected results:

All the emails look like:

root <root@localhost> rkhunter Daily Run

Additional info:

Diff file attached modifies the cron.daily file to add the hostname to the email
subject line.

Thanks Brian for providing a concise and well documented suggestion.
(and especially thanks for providing a patchfile)

I intend to roll this into the next periodic release

I've provided an improvement on your suggestion by adding $OSTYPE to the subject
line as well (since rkhunter is relatively OS independent) and provided a new
patchfile here for your application.  I'm going to push this change upstream
to Michael Boelen if you haven't already.

Greg - glad I could be of help. I have not said anything to upstream as I
couldn't find the cron script in the upstream. Thanks for taking the time to
package and maintain rkhunter for all us FC users.

This bug is open for a Fedora version that is no longer maintained and
will not be fixed by Fedora. Therefore we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen thus bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
