Andrew, I'm in the same boat, just /bin/kill on CentOS. I've pretty much ignored it up till now, but when I hear the answer, I'll implement it too. Thanks for asking. Or maybe we both just have the /bin/kill rootkit :)

First: rkhunter 1.2.8 is not the current version, upgrade to 1.2.9.
Second: see section 4.4 of the FAQ (this is pretty much this mailinglist's mantra).

  Hi,

I have run the rkhunter 1.2.8 on a centos4 (4-4.2 I think) and i am getting a single md5 checksum error on /bin/kill

Having checked the faqs I find the advice to validate

 Files:
- "strings <file>" and check for untrusted file paths (things like / dev/.hiddendir) - recently updated binaries and their original source. If it is due an update, please sent me an URI to the changed file (like a RPM), so I can add new hashes to the databases. - "file <file>" and compare them with others (especially trusted binaries). If some binaries are linked static and others are all dynamic, than they could have been trojaned..

Unfortunately, these instructions don't mean much to a linux novice like me, so I'm hoping that someone can give me a few pointers on what I need to do to look a little further into this problem...


Many thanks


brian
