Package: rkhunter
Version: 1.3.2-6
Severity: normal

rkhunter keeps sending out emails with the following text:

Warning: The file '/usr/sbin/unhide' exists on the system, but it is
not present in the rkhunter.dat file.
Warning: The file '/usr/sbin/unhide-linux26' exists on the system, but
it is not present in the rkhunter.dat file.

These files are installed by the unhide-20100201-1 package
 http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/unhide

Unhide is a tool to find processes and ports hidden by rootkits, and
thus in the same line of business as rkhunter.

This warning is totally unrelated to the issue described in #607224 (which
can now be closed as triggers have been introduced in unhide for that
purpose).

As for your warning, rkhunter simply informs you the unhide.rb executable
located in /usr/bin/ is a ruby script. It is perfectly normal in that case
and you can whitelist it in rkhunter.conf{,.local}.

Cheers,
Julien
