Description Anthony Messina 2012-08-17 19:58:34 UTC 
I have installed freeipa-server-2.2.0-1.fc17.x86_64 and it's running
well.  I have also installed rkhunter-1.4.0-1.fc17.noarch on the IPA
server and each morning I receive the following report from rkhunter.

I imagine/hope that these are not actual rootkits and was wondering if
anyone knew of a way to inform rkhunter/rkhunter.conf to "never mind"
these as they seem like they would be a normal part of the IPA/CA process.

By the way, UID 995 is the pkiuser on my IPA system.

The temporary solution was to add the following to rkhunter.conf:
# FreeIPA Certificate Authority
RTKT_FILE_WHITELIST="/var/log/pki-ca/system"

rkhunter warning output follows:

Comment 1 Kevin Fenzi 2012-08-18 20:20:31 UTC 
/var/log/pki-ca/system seems like a kinda a poor name for logs, but ok. 

I can add the whitelist and ask upstream about merging it in. 

Thanks for the report.
