Hello,

I'm fairly new to rkhunter. I started a new job and took over all
the servers. They all run rkhunter on a daily basis and produced alot of
emails saying that more or less everything is alright. So I started
reducing those emails. When it came to rkhunter I was able to stop all
emails accept for one server running gentoo. The email I get is the
following:

Running updater...
Mirrorfile /usr/lib/rkhunter/db/mirrors.dat rotated
Using mirror http://rkhunter.sourceforge.net
[DB] Mirror file                      : Up to date
[DB] MD5 hashes system binaries       : Up to date
[DB] Operating System information     : Up to date
[DB] MD5 blacklisted tools/binaries   : Up to date
[DB] Known good program versions      : Up to date
[DB] Known bad program versions       : Up to date
Ready.
Line:
  [ Warning! ]
Some errors has been found while checking. Please perform a manual check
on this machine

So I ran a manual check producing a logfile where the only warning is
the following:

[08:14:55] ------------------------------- Backdoors
----------------------------
[08:14:56] Checking network interfaces (promiscuous mode)... [ WARNING ]
[08:14:56] Possible promisc interfaces:
[08:14:56] Output test 1:
[08:15:45] Checking passwordless user accounts...
[08:15:45] Found /etc/conf.d/local.start file (Gentoo)

Using Google I came to think that snort is cause of the warning and
snort does run on that server. So my questions are:
Is snort the cause?
How do I customize rkhunter.conf so I don't get the warning anymore?

Thanks for your help in advance.
Ulrich
