Comment 1 Kevin Fenzi 2012-06-14 14:35:34 UTC
? Can you describe what false positives you think you are seeing?

Comment 2 Harald Reindl 2012-06-14 14:44:15 UTC
uhm - i am pretty sure that i have filled out this 
however, once again

/usr/share/man/man5/.k5identity.5.gz   is part of krb5-libs on F17 but not F16

seems like this is caused by UsrMove
it is intentionally /usr/bin/ad

Comment 3 Kevin Fenzi 2012-06-14 15:28:44 UTC
For the first item, I can confirm it here. I will talk with the upstream developers. 

For the second item, the /etc/rkhunter.conf as shipped should have: 

ALLOWHIDDENFILE=/usr/share/man/man5/.k5identity.5.gz

Can you check for that in /etc/rkhunter.conf or see if you have a /etc/rkhunter.conf.rpmnew ?

Thanks for the report.

Comment 4 Harald Reindl 2012-06-14 15:38:37 UTC
indeed there was a "/etc/rkhunter.conf.rpmnew"
seems on my test-vm i did not revert the changes in a clean way
and only created /etc/rkhunter.conf.local which leads to not
update the config

i did now the following steps which should fix this

rm -f /etc/rkhunter.conf.rpmnew
rm -f /etc/rkhunter.conf
yum reinstall rkhunter

for the netatalk false-positive i wait for a update....

Comment 5 Harald Reindl 2012-08-14 08:17:10 UTC
is there any progress?

the daily mails because netatalk are boring

Comment 6 Kevin Fenzi 2012-08-14 18:05:23 UTC
Can you try adding: 

RTKT_FILE_WHITELIST=/bin/ad

and see if that helps?

Comment 7 Harald Reindl 2012-08-14 20:52:55 UTC
thank you!
this does the trick

Comment 8 Kevin Fenzi 2012-08-15 19:59:07 UTC
ok. I pushed a fix to the config to rawhide. 

Will wait a while and see if we pick up a few more fixes before pushing to stable releases. 

Thanks.
