Posted by jthornton, 12-31-2007, 12:17 AM A couple days ago, I installed Rkhunter 1.3.0. I updated it, ran it, and put in my my crontab.root 30 23 * * * /usr/local/bin/rkhunter --cronjob > /dev/null I just finished installing chkrootkit 0.48. I ran it and everything seems fine. Is there a way to run this as a service?? I ask because in my VPS control panel, the security check still shows that Chkrootkit isn't installed. Do I put it in the crontab.root file, or does it run as a service? Also... Does it do the same thing as Rkhunter, or should I have them both installed?
