Below is the email I sent to upstream back in January. My diffs (attached to this mail) may not represent the most elegant bash code in the world, but it should at least reflect what ideas I'd like for upstream to incorporate to improve flexibility (maybe it has changed since then - haven't checked newer versions of rkhunter since then). /frederik ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: rkhunter: Suggestions (with patches) for more flexibility in rkhunter Date: Monday 24 January 2005 02:34 From: Frederik Dannemare <frederik@dannemare.net> To: Michael Boelen <michael@rootkit.nl> Hello Michael, first of all: thank you for rkhunter. Lovely tool. I am currently working with another Debian Developer in undertaking the work of packaging rkhunter for Debian. In order to make it much easier for packagers such as myself, I have come up with some modifications to make rkhunter more flexible regarding usage and in particular installation. It mostly has to do with paths and such. I hope you will take a look at my suggested changes and hopefully you will consider using some of it. If you don't like the code itself, I hope you will at least incorporate some of the ideas behind it in future version af rkhunter, as it will make it much easier to package for e.g. Debian which has strict rules as to where certain type of files must be installed.
