Upon entering the command Rkhunter --update in my Kali Linux distribution.
The result is as follows



[ Rootkit Hunter version 1.4.6 ]

Checking Rkhunter data files...

Checking file mirrors.dat [ No update ]

Checking file programs_bad.dat [ No update ]

Checking file backdoorports.dat [ No update ]

Checking file suspscan.dat [ No update ]

Checking file i18n/cn [ Skipped ]

Checking file i18n/de [ Skipped ]

Checking file i18n/en [ No update ]

Checking file i18n/tr.utf8 [ Skipped ]

Checking file i18n/zh [ Skipped ]

Checking file i18n/zh.utf8 [ Skipped ]

Checking file i18n/ja [ Skipped ]


Doing the update it always skips checking some files.
Is this behaviour normal for Rkhunter or some configuration problem has occurred?



My distro is Kali Linux 4.15.0-kali3-amd64

The i18n/* files are just for localization purposes, so they are not essential for core program functionality. The output you've posted suggests you already have the English strings.



Side note #1: You shouldn't be running rkhunter --update as it is a security risk: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=765895 Install rkhunter via apt and let your package manager take care of keeping the utility updated.



Side note #2: rkhunter can generate a lot of false positives, so be prepared for that.

Postfix configuration issue with fips on centos 7; mailgun relay

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 0 down vote favorite I am trying to setup postfix to relay all mail generated on the local machine via SMTP to a mailgun relay. I have used the mailgun relay before with success on an ubuntu server, but I am migrating to a Centos 7 server which I will be running in FIPS mode. There error log is below, slightly sanitized. I have a small enough network that I choose to have each machine reach out to mailgun individually (this the loopback-only, 127.0.0.0/8 restrictions) and no firewall open port allowing smtp in to the machine. I assume the FIPS mode (and with it disabling of MD5) is causing problems, but I don't know how to overcome it or if it is even possible for tls_fprint to use some supported hash such as sha256 or sha512. However, the relay=none is slightly concerning since I have relayhost set, but perhaps that is because the smtp process is failing? Any help would be appreciated! postconf -n: alias_database = hash:/etc/alia
