Should this be whitelisted\default as per ssh stuff?

Comment 1 Kevin Fenzi 2009-04-07 03:03:38 UTC
Yeah, these FIPS files keep getting added. ;( 

Adding Tomáš here. 

Tomáš: Can we expect more of these files? 
Would you like to just add them to rkhunter when you add them to other packages? 
Or just let me know when they are to appear and I can add them?

Comment 2 Tomas Mraz 2009-04-07 06:52:57 UTC
We have these files in openssl, openssh, libgcrypt and fipscheck packages.

They will be added for the openswan package if they are not there yet.

I don't think they will be added to any additional packages.

Yeah, I guess it's needed now that 5.4 has fips in it. ;(

Check to see if you have a /etc/rkhunter.conf.rpmnew that has the added definitions in it. 
You will need to merge them into your config or copy it in place and re-add any customizations you have made.
