How can I run Rootkit Hunter with update option?

SYMPTOMS:

After running Plesk security check in the watchdog module I see a message
similar to the following: “Your system contains some unknown version
numbers. Please run Rootkit Hunter with the –update parameter or fill in the contact form (www.rootkit.nl)”

CAUSE:

Rootkit Hunter found new packages versions which are not listed in it’s database.

RESOLUTION:

Rootkit Hunter usually updates the database automatically. You can force update with following command:

$PRODUCT_ROOT_D/admin/sbin/modules/watchdog/rkhunter –configfile $PRODUCT_ROOT_D/etc/modules/watchdog/rkhunter.conf –update
