rkhunter email subject line improvement
Last modified: 2008-05-06 12:05:55 EDT
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.
