The rkhunter package introduced new or modified debconf templates. This is the perfect moment for a review to help the package maintainer following the general suggested writing style and track down typos and errors in the use of English language. If someone wants to pick up this review, please answer to this mail, in the mailing list, with an [ITR] (Intent To Review) label. The templates file is attached. To propose the file you reviewed for peer review, please send a [RFR] (Request For Review) mail with the reviewed file attached...then a few days later, when no more contributions come, a summary mail with a [LCFC] (Last Chance For Comments) label. Finally, after no more comments coming to the LCFC mail, you can send the reviewed templates file as a bug report against the package. Then, please notify the list with a last mail using a [BTS] label with the bug number. Helping the package maintainer to deal with induced translation updates at that moment will be nice. If you're not comfortable with that part of the process, please hand it off to a translator. --
Template: rkhunter/cron_daily_run Type: boolean _Description: Activate daily run? Choose this option if you want rkhunter to be run automatically via cron.daily. Template: rkhunter/cron_db_update Type: boolean _Description: Activate weekly database update? Choose this option if you want rkhunter databases to be updated automatically via cron.weekly. Template: rkhunter/apt_autogen Type: boolean Default: false _Description: Update file properties database automatically? rkhunter can be configured so that the file properties database is updated automatically by apt. Default is not to enable this feature as the file properties database update can be slow on some older or low-resource systems. Even if enabled, the database won't be updated by apt if the 'hashes' test is disabled in rkhunter configuration.

Description: rootkit, backdoor, sniffer and exploit scanner
Rootkit Hunter scans your system for known and unknown rootkits,
backdoors, sniffers and exploits.
.
Some of the tests it does:
- MD5 hash compare
- Look for default files used by rootkits
- Wrong file permissions for binaries
- Look for suspected strings in LKM and KLD modules
- Look for hidden files
- Optional scan within plaintext and binary files
.
Please note that rkhunter does *not* guarantee your system has
not been compromised! You should also run additional tests, e.g. using
chkrootkit and other measures.
