Hi,

I have been searching the forum and the internet about an email I received that says:

Problems were detected with cPanel-provided files which are RPM controlled.
If you did not make these changes intentionally, you can correct them by running:

> /usr/local/cpanel/scripts/check_cpanel_rpms --fix

The following RPMs are found to be altered from their original install state:
exim,4.82,4.cp1136,/etc/antivirus.exim
I'm not exactly sure how that got changed or even what that means. Not sure how to even run that script to correct anything. I have read some stuff about tmp folders filling up and stuff but I havent really seen anything in any of the accounts I host on this dedicated server. Any information would help alot. Thanks in advance.

Hello :)

You can access your system via SSH as "root" and run the following command:

Code:
/usr/local/cpanel/scripts/check_cpanel_rpms --fix
What version of cPanel is installed on your system? Do you have any custom applications installed that deal with Exim?

Thank you.

Thank you.
