Package: rkhunter Version: 1.3.8-10 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
When doing "sudo rkhunter --propupd", error; Invalid BINDIR configuration option: Invalid directory found: ~/bin Both the user and root user have ~/bin in their $PATH, which seems to trigger the issue. Note that; -->egrep "^BINDIR" /etc/rkhunter.conf BINDIR="/bin /usr/bin /sbin /usr/sbin /usr/local/bin /usr/local/sbin /usr/libexec /usr/local/libexec" But, it complains and fails anyway. Madness. Additional opinionated dribble: At this point, the package, which offers limited value to me anyway, becomes too much trouble to be worth configuring so I'll just not deal with it. If the designer wishes for a security package like this to be effective, it needs to be useful in it's default configuration so that minimal manual intervention is required to do the job. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.1.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages rkhunter depends on: ii binutils 2.21.90.20111025-1 GNU assembler, linker and binary u ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.41 Debian configuration management sy ii file 5.09-2 Determines file type using "magic" ii net-tools 1.60-24.1 The NET-3 networking toolkit ii perl 5.14.2-5 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii ucf 3.0025+nmu2 Update Configuration File: preserv Versions of packages rkhunter recommends: ii courier-mta [mail-transpo 0.66.3-1+b1 Courier mail server - ESMTP daemon ii curl 7.21.7-3 Get a file from an HTTP, HTTPS or ii elinks 0.12~pre5-5+b1 advanced text-mode WWW browser ii iproute 20110629-1 networking and traffic control too ii links 2.3-1 Web browser running in text mode ii lsof 4.81.dfsg.1-1 List open files ii lynx 2.8.8dev.9-2 Text-mode WWW Browser (transitiona ii unhide 20110113-3 Forensic tool to find hidden proce ii wget 1.13.4-1 retrieves files from the web Versions of packages rkhunter suggests: ii heirloom-mailx [mailx] 12.5-1 feature-rich BSD mail(1) pn libdigest-whirlpool-perl <none> (no description available) ii liburi-perl 1.59-1 module to manipulate and access UR ii libwww-perl 6.03-1 simple and consistent interface to pn powermgmt-base <none> (no description available) pn tripwire <none> (no description available) -- Configuration Files: /etc/rkhunter.conf changed: ROTATE_MIRRORS=1 UPDATE_MIRRORS=1 MIRRORS_MODE=0 MAIL-ON-WARNING="" MAIL_CMD=mail -s "[rkhunter] Warnings found for ${HOST_NAME}" TMPDIR=/var/lib/rkhunter/tmp DBDIR=/var/lib/rkhunter/db SCRIPTDIR=/usr/share/rkhunter/scripts BINDIR="/bin /usr/bin /sbin /usr/sbin /usr/local/bin /usr/local/sbin /usr/libexec /usr/local/libexec" UPDATE_LANG="" LOGFILE=/var/log/rkhunter.log APPEND_LOG=0 COPY_LOG_ON_ERROR=0 COLOR_SET2=0 AUTO_X_DETECT=1 WHITELISTED_IS_WHITE=0 ALLOW_SSH_ROOT_USER=no ALLOW_SSH_PROT_V1=0 ENABLE_TESTS="all" DISABLE_TESTS="suspscan hidden_procs deleted_files packet_cap_apps apps" SCRIPTWHITELIST=/bin/egrep SCRIPTWHITELIST=/bin/fgrep SCRIPTWHITELIST=/bin/which SCRIPTWHITELIST=/usr/bin/groups SCRIPTWHITELIST=/usr/bin/ldd SCRIPTWHITELIST=/usr/bin/lwp-request SCRIPTWHITELIST=/usr/sbin/adduser SCRIPTWHITELIST=/usr/sbin/prelink IMMUTABLE_SET=0 PHALANX2_DIRTEST=0 ALLOW_SYSLOG_REMOTE_LOGGING=0 SUSPSCAN_TEMP=/dev/shm SUSPSCAN_MAXSIZE=10240000 SUSPSCAN_THRESH=200 USE_LOCKING=0 LOCK_TIMEOUT=300 SHOW_LOCK_MSGS=1 DISABLE_UNHIDE=1 INSTALLDIR="/usr" -- debconf information: rkhunter/apt_autogen: rkhunter/cron_daily_run: no rkhunter/cron_db_update: yes -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
