I'm not able to reproduce this here... ;( [root@ningauble ~]# egrep "ifup|ifdown" /etc/rkhunter.conf | grep -v ^# SCRIPTWHITELIST=/sbin/ifup SCRIPTWHITELIST=/sbin/ifdown [root@ningauble ~]# rkhunter -c -sk [ Rootkit Hunter version 1.4.0 ] ... All results have been written to the log file (/var/log/rkhunter/rkhunter.log) No warnings were found while checking the system Can you attach your log files/output? Thanks.

var log rkhunter log file with warning about ifup and ifdown scripts not being whitelisted
here is copy of rkhunter log file. not that the machine hasnt been personalized with using 'rkhunter --propupd' to create a local properties file.
hmm maybe just something local to machine or maybe you not seeing error because you propupd'd it away?
comment#2: 'not that the machine' --> 'note that the machine' If you do run a 'rkhunter --propupd' it goes away? right the propupd clears the error for those files. the bug report is against the defaults of the whitelist in '/etc/rkhunter.conf'. the links to script files showing as an error were just from a standard install so expect should be accounted for by the defaults of the whitelist in the '/etc/rkhunter.conf' file without depending on propupd. :') ok, I'll see what I can do. Trying to use rkhunter without --propupd doesn't seem like a good long term plan however (since it means you're not applying updates, etc). Anyhow, I agree it should work out of the box... It is possible that this is fixed - # cat /var/log/rkhunter/rkhunter.log | egrep "ifup|ifdown" [20:49:22] /usr/sbin/ifdown [ OK ] [20:49:22] /usr/sbin/ifup [ OK ] # rkhunter -V Rootkit Hunter 1.4.2 Currently under active development by the Rootkit Hunter project team. Please review your rkhunter.conf before using. # egrep "ifup|ifdown" /etc/rkhunter.conf SCRIPTWHITELIST=/sbin/ifup SCRIPTWHITELIST=/sbin/ifdown (In reply to Mukundan Ragavan from comment #7) > It is possible that this is fixed - Was this from a fresh install without running --propupd? Just did a fresh test here and it still seems to show the issue with 1.4.2. ;(
/usr/sbin/ifdown [ Warning ]
/usr/sbin/ifup [ Warning ]

Never mind. I found why I do not have the warning. I have used --propupd (just looked at my bash history). That's why - which basically agrees with rest of the bug. Sorry for the miscommunication. This message is a notice that Fedora 19 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 19. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '19'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 19 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. Fedora 19 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-01-06. Fedora 19 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. Bug still present in current F20. Reopen? Well, I suppose we could, but really this seems like something thats hard/impossible to fix. Running without having run --propupd is really not using the tool correctly. |
