/var/log/chkrootkit.log doesn't exist or is empty - Haeber - 03-04-2009 12:48 PM

My admin/rootkit_log.php says:
Code:
/var/log/chkrootkit.log doesn't exist or is empty

And yes, there is really no chkrootkit.log in /var/log. I tested chkrootkit manually and it works.

So I've searched for the cron job for it. I've found /etc/cron.d/ispcp with the following lines about chkrootkit:
Code:
# Chkrootkit
{CR-ENABLED}0   */12    *       *       *       root {CHKROOTKIT} &> {CHKROOTKIT_LOG}

Is it normal that the variables are not replaced? Or is there another crontab?

Best Regards

This is my entry in the /etc/cron.d/ispcp

Code:
# Chkrootkit
0       */12    *       *       *       root /usr/sbin/chkrootkit &> /var/log/chkrootkit.log

Code:
# Chkrootkit
0       */12    *       *       *       root /usr/sbin/chkrootkit &> /var/log/chkrootkit.log

So it's not normal that my config has not replaced {VARIABLES}. How does this come? I'm using debian lenny on a root server. Was there something wrong with the installation?

No, this is not normal. Should be created during the install and replaced.
Other entry´s in the cron OK ?

No, the cron is full of not replaced variables. How can I fix this?

It's a frequent problem:

Thanks for the HowTo. Maybe I'll research a little bit, why the cron installation failed.
