Generally it is okay. However, some things to note: 1) There is no need to uncomment the HASH_FUNC setting in the config file. RKH will look for a SHA1 command be default. 2) There is no need to uncomment the BINDIR setting specifying '/usr/local/bin' and '/usr/local/sbin', as these are used by RKH by default. 3) Do NOT uncomment the SCRIPTDIR setting, unless you are going to change it. The setting will be automatically determined by the installer, and the correct setting will be placed at the end of the configuration file. (If you installed RKH somewhere else (in / say), and then set SCRIPTDIR to '/usr/local/lib/rkhunter/scripts' some things will probably fail.) 4) If you are using an RPM based system, then you can tell RKH to use the RPM package manager by setting 'PKGMGR=RPM'. This has the advantage that updates to packages (programs etc) will be checked against the RPM database. Without this (that is, not using PKGMGR), you will receive warnings for the files which have changed and have to run 'rkhunter --propupd' whenever a package is updated. The RPM package manager can check quite a few things, whereas the other supported package managers generally only check the checksum of files. RPM can check not only the checksums, but also file permissions, file ownership, inode number, file size, modification time and so on. (See 'man rpm'.)
