Fresh RC6 Install "/var/log/rkhunter.log doesn't exist or is empty" [Solved]
Hi, I saw that this problem appears in ubuntu 8.04 (probably lenny too) after a fresh install (at least in my case)
There are two different problems:
The first is that in the 1.3.x versions of rkhunter the options --scan-knownbad-files and --check-deleted are no longer supported, so the checks doesn't start.

The second is the message telling me that rkhunter.log doesn't exist, I looked at this:
The file is in the cron
Code:
0       */12    *       *       *       root /usr/bin/rkhunter --scan-knownbad-files --check-deleted --cronjob --createlogfile /var/log/rkhunter.log >/dev/null 2>&1

The permissions of the created log seem to be fine
Code:
# ls -l /var/log/rkhunter.log
-rw------- 1 root root 74991 2008-08-14 06:45 rkhunter.log

The openbasedir for master seems ok too
Code:
open_basedir = "/var/www/ispcp/gui/:/etc/ispcp/:/var/run/ispcp.lock:/proc/:/bin/df:/bin/mount:/var/log/rkhunter.log:/var/log/chkrootkit.log:/usr/share/php/"

Cheers!
