Package: rkhunter
Version: 1.3.8-6
Severity: normal
Hi Julien,
Thanks again for maintaining rkhunter.
Humble suggestion:
Improve the "-C' command line option (for checking
the configuration file) to allow leading spaces
before options in /etc/rkhunter.conf,
like the examples documented in it.
When I uncommented the example option for
RTKT_FILE_WHITELIST in /etc/rkhunter.conf
'# RTKT_FILE_WHITELIST="/etc/rc.local:hdparm"'
so that it is still indented with leading spaces,
like
' RTKT_FILE_WHITELIST="/etc/rc.local:hdparm"'
and I ran rkhunter with the "-C' option to check
the configuration file
$ rkhunter -C
it complained with
Unknown configuration file option:
RTKT_FILE_WHITELIST="/etc/rc.local:hdparm"
The end user can work around this by left
justifying the RTKT_FILE_WHITELIST option in
/etc/rkhunter.conf, like
'RTKT_FILE_WHITELIST="/etc/rc.local:hdparm"'
However, it seems to me that the examples
documented in the configuration file should work with the
"-C' command line option.
Thanks,
Kingsley

I fail to see what is the problem. The options should not include any
leading whitespace to be valid. This is true not only for '-C' but also when
running an actual check.
> When I uncommented the example option for

As you write, this is an example only, not meant to be used blindly.
rkhunter.conf is structured as follows for each option:
# Comment
# on several lines
# OPTION="an example on how to use the option"
#
#OPTION="commented default option value"
Either use the commented option or add a new line. You can also use an
/etc/rkhunter.conf.local file and add there your specific configuration.
I hence consider this bug to be invalid and close it.
Cheers,
Julien
