Re: mail from root

Robert,

Test your mail on the server via command line:

sudo sendmail -d yourname@yourdom.com

enter some text.
hit ". ."

Use your terminal up/down keys to see if the mail was delivered. Check
your mail. Did you get it?

Check your installation:

command rkhunter --configfile /etc/rkhunter.conf --report-warnings-only
--checkall

Update the checksums database :command rkhunter --propupdate

Update the threats database (the update is done weekly afterwards) :

command rkhunter --update

The command below is run daily. Its results are send by e-mail to the root
user if a problem appear. Run it once to check that everything is setted up
right :

command rkhunter --configfile /etc/rkhunter.conf --report-warnings-only
--checkall
