During scanning rkhunter generates an email, with the following warning in the report Warning: The 'systemd-journald' daemon is running, but no configuration file can be found. However, in a standard setup there is no requirement for systemd-journald to have a configuration file. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install rkhunter and run sudo rkhunter --propupd to set up. 2.Run sudo rkhunter --cronjob --nocolors --report-warnings-only (as per cronjob) 3.Note warning output message, and exit status is set to error. Actual Results: The warning message of: Warning: The 'systemd-journald' daemon is running, but no configuration file can be found. is generated and exit status is set to 1. Expected Results: No warning is generated and exit status should be 0. Additional Information: I suspect this should now just be an informational message rather than a warning.
Created attachment 2085959 [details] Quick patch to change status from WARNING to INFO
Of course, simpler still is just to add /usr/lib/systemd/journald.conf to the list of files to search!
