YEA! Ta Da ! WooHoo!
The re-install worked! I have done --propupd and --update and run the
first scan after making some mods in the rkhunter.conf file.
{Thank you all so very much.}
I am pretty sure I have a trojan or resident spoofer in there,
especially on one of the domains that has bandwidth / traffic going thru
the roof. It will take some time and effort to learn the logs and what
I can do about them. I'll work at it.
Here is a section of my rkhunter.log. What should I be doing about the
"warning" items?
