I tried each of the following, running --propupd after each change. EXISTWHITELIST=.vnc/hydra EXISTWHITELIST=".vnc/hydra" EXISTWHITELIST="*.vnc/hydra" All return the same error from rkhunter --check, eg: Invalid EXISTWHITELIST configuration option: Invalid pathname: .vnc/hydra Ok, so absolute pathnames must be required. EXISTWHITELIST="/home/*/.vnc/hydra" was the charm for me. We did consider this directive but not sure why we did not actually test it out thoroughly. Thanks for your answer, and for rkhunter.
