Bug 104557 – rkhunter cron.daily don't respect --report-warnings-only

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Romang 2005-09-02 00:48:13 UTC]

Hello,

If we put RKHUNTER_OPTS="-c --cronjob --skip-keypress --report-warnings-only"
and SEND_EMAIL=yes

We still receive email from the server if they are no warning.

Regards.

Let me know whether setting VERBOSITY to the appropriate number works.

Hello,

I have modify my config :

RKHUNTER_OPTS="-c --cronjob --skip-keypress --report-warnings-only"
ENABLE=yes
SEND_EMAIL=yes
VERBOSITY=1

But I still receive email (empty email) for each server.

Regards

Hello,

The problem is due to :

# email output?
if [[ "${SEND_EMAIL}" == "yes" ]] ; then
CMD="cat ${_tmpout} ${EMAIL_CMD}"
eval ${CMD}
fi

they is no check if _tmpout is empty or not

Regards.

Just had the same idea, fixed it and found this bug. The following patch
redirects STDOUT of the update-run to /dev/null and checks if the logfile's size
 is greater zero.
