Re: mail from root

I don't really know enough to give a solid answer. But since you've had no
responses, I will ask why you think the mails on the desktop are FALSE
positives and why you think they should be occurring on the laptop as
well.

In other words, rkhunter on the desktop is saying something has changed in
the two files it is questioning. Just because you copied the .conf file to
the laptop does not mean the two files on the laptop should be called into
question. Are those files present on the laptop and identical in every way
to the desktop?
