UnSpawn, I believe the project is seen as important by the community, but is probably taken for granted. I'm sure it's a b*tch to maintain rkhunter (if in terms of time only), but I also believe that there are countless users who are grateful to you and John for carrying the torch. If I had a modicum of programming experience, I'd help. Alas, I don't, so I remain a grateful user. So, please, hang in there. Rkhunter is a vital application.

(At least in my mind it isn't.) Point is this project isn't seen as "important" by the community so the project rarely sees active help. (Like one person every three years talking but not contributing anything. That's OSS for ya.) Which means it's down to just John and me. Now John did his part (thanks muchly!), so all I have to do is investigate any rootkit and malware details of the past three years I missed, add relevant data, test the release on Linux and BSD and produce a release tar ball. It's -=[ that ]=- easy.
