    (I changed the hash sums to xxx and yyy, don't know if it's good to post them for all to see?)

    So, are these false positives? Many warnings there... Should I be aware? Am I in danger?

    Please help me sort this out!

    I merged your two threads.

    Your question is a FAQ, see the security sticky and the man page.

    If after reading the stickies you have a specific question please ask, but, asking somebody to go through the output of rkhunter line by line is unrealistic.
    There are two mistakes one can make along the road to truth...not going all the way, and not starting.

    Okay, thanks. The interesting lines are bolded. Will google it later on, but 'til then; does anyone know if this is any bad? I dont get these warnings on my netbook.

    You can check System->Administration-> Synaptic Package Manager->File->History, to see if those files have been updated.

    Re: rkhunter warnings - should I be afraid?

    There are no entries for 14th february or 4th mars in synaptic history.. Those are the two dates mentioned several times in the log files.

    I found this after searching for login:
    Code:
    login (1:4.1.4.2-1ubuntu2) to 1:4.1.4.2-1ubuntu2.2
    openssl (0.9.8k-7ubuntu8.5) to 0.9.8k-7ubuntu8.6
    passwd (1:4.1.4.2-1ubuntu2) to 1:4.1.4.2-1ubuntu2.2
    But that was three days later, 17th feb.

    So, whats next? Has my system been compromised?

    would you please run a
    Code:
    sudo rkhunter --propupd
    and after this a "normal" rkhunter check, if possible after a reboot of your system. And compare the two scans.
    It could be interesting to analyse the results.

    No warnings after running that.
    But, doesn't that mean that IF my computer was altered somehow, I just made it look normal to rkhunter?

    Re: rkhunter warnings - should I be afraid?

    its in the FAQ and readme of rkhunter.

    Before running RKH you will need to fill the file properties database by running the following command And last - do no forget to set rkhunter in sysconfig to run the --propupd every time new software is installed or else you will get "compromised" after every software update (/etc/sysconfig/rkhunter)
    I hope you are not "afraid" of these "warnings" anymore!
