I just ran 'rkhunter -c --quiet' and this is the error messages I got: Line: Warning: This operating system is not fully supported! Line: Warning: This operating system is not fully supported! Warning: Cannot find md5_not_known Some errors has been found while checking. Please perform a manual check on this machine debian Is this something I should be worried about?? I'm running CentOS 5.

What version of rkhunter are you running? rkhunter -h depends on what your running, but there should be a 'update' switch. http://rkhunter.sourceforge.net/ for the latest.

Okay... I'm running: Rkhunter 1.2.7 I checked out that link and it says that rkhunter is up to 1.3.0 so... How do I update it. I ran % rkhunter --update and it just listed the items that updates are available for. I tried % yum update rkhunter, but that didn't work.

I ran the % rkhunter --update command 2 more times and now it says that all the items are up to date. however, the version still says 1.2.7 not 1.3.0

Download the latest and install it. I believe (off top of my head) the latest can update it self (version) not just its database.
