Hello,

I've been unable to reproduce this issue. Could you try reinstalling RKHunter using the steps on that document, but with the following "wget" command instead? EX:

wget https://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/rkhunter/rkhunter/1.4.2/rkhunter-1.4.2.tar.gz

Thank you.

Hello,

Please post the output from the following commands:

grep SCRIPTDIR /etc/rkhunter.conf
stat /usr/local/lib/rkhunter/scripts
stat /usr/local/lib64/rkhunter/scripts

Thank you.

should i change it to lib64 and run rkhunter -c again?

Hello,

I'm happy to see the issue with RKHunter is solved. The issue with Maldet is discussed on the following thread:

Anacron job 'cron.daily' Maldet

Thank you.

Hello,

You can try fixing this with the following command:

rkhunter –propupd –update

Keep in mind that RKHunter is a third-party application so you may want to report issues with the application directly to the developer.

Thank you.
