I have been getting a warning from rkhunter which I am having trouble
understanding.
This is for rkhunter 1.4.0 (debian package 1.4.0-1).

The warning is:

  Warning: The file '/etc/passwd' does not exist on the system, but it
is present in the rkhunter.dat file.

Yet the file exists (doh), and the sha1sum matches

  # grep -F /etc/passwd /var/lib/rkhunter/db/rkhunter.dat
  
File:/etc/passwd:90a1bea35300525a59c6397aa39d970f2649a690:32789:0644:0:0:2923:1424750578::

  # sha1sum /etc/passwd
  90a1bea35300525a59c6397aa39d970f2649a690  /etc/passwd


Running

  # rkhunter --propupd /etc/passwd

removes the entry shown above from the rkhunter.dat file.

There's nothing funky configured
  # grep -c passwd /etc/rkhunter.conf /etc/rkhunter.conf.local
  /etc/rkhunter.conf:0
  /etc/rkhunter.conf.local:0

 # rkhunter -C
 # echo $?
 0

Shouldn't /etc/passwd be watched, normally? What am I doing wrong here?

Regards
Vince
