#41 Ignore missing files referenced by the rkhunter config file
The move to 1.4.2 in Debian has led to a number of bugs such as this one: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=773974
The problem is that I want to provide a good default config file to hide well-known false positives in Debian, but I can't do that because missing files cause errors. So I can only provide these config lines as commented-out by default and this makes the out-of-the-box experience quite bad since it requires admins to edit the config file before they have something that works and isn't needlessly noisy.
I would like to suggest that if a file is mentioned in the config file in one of these "ignore this problem" directives but it's missing, no error should be returned.
If the files don't always exist then try the EXISTWHITELIST option.
