[Rkhunter-users] Removal of '-r' and ROOTDIR options

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

Hello,

It is proposed that at the next release of rkhunter the '-r'
command-line option and the ROOTDIR config file option will be
deprecated.

The code for these options has not really been maintained for quite some
time (past few years), and as such probably does not do what is
expected. The current code will be removed, and at some future time new
code written to provide similar options (once we have defined what the
options are and are not expected to do).

If anyone is using either of these options in earnest, then please let
me know within the next few days.

Thanks.



John.
