[Rkhunter-users] Bug: Solaris tests fails

[John H. <joh...@pl...>]

Hello,

Using RKhunter 1.2.8 on Solaris 9, with the --report-warnings-only
option gives an error:

  expr: non-numeric argument

The problem seems to be that the code detects Solaris and switches to
using the KSH shell. It then checks (line 311):

  case `uname` in
  AIX|SunOS)
      BEGINTIME=$SECONDS

which is fine, but at the end (line 4846) it does:

  if [ ${OPERATING_SYSTEM} = "AIX" ] ; then
         ENDTIME=$SECONDS
        else
         ENDTIME=`date +%s`
  fi
  TOTALTIME=`expr ${ENDTIME} - ${BEGINTIME}`

This last test fails. Under Solaris 'date +%s' does nothing, ENDTIME
gets set to '%s', and subsequently the expr fails because '%s' is not
numeric.


Regards,

John.
