why don't you just ask the author of rkhunter to update the hashes for these packges?
i think i did once and it was fixed within a few days.

I have an FC2 system which rkhunter reports some suspicious
files. In particular, during the MD5 hash scan, it reports

        /bin/dmesg
        /bin/kill
        /bin/login
        /bin/mount
        /usr/bin/kill

I run FC2 and have a similar issue. I've run rkhunter --update many times
in the hopes of updating the installed database to resolve this  problem.
Is there a way of updating the the FC2-related rkhunter database in  order
to resolve this?

I experience the same (for the same files). I tried installing an older version of util-linux and everything was fine again. I updated util-linux again and it didn't recognize these files again. So I wouldn't be to worried. If rkhunter doesn't recognize certain files you're supposed to report this on the rkhunter website. I reported this issue twice already, but apparently no one has looked into this.

It also doesn't like the fact that root can log in, and that
SSHv1 is permitted to run.

Rightly so. Do not allow these things or change /etc/rkhunter.conf to not let it warn you about these things.

Nils.
