If you want to become the project owner, then let me know and I'll add you as an administrator and provide various passwords.

The rkhunter project needs a new owner. I cannot do it. I haven't heard from unspawn in 10 years or more, so it needs someone else.

If you are providing rkhunter as a package for your distro, then modify the rkhunter config file you distribute to whitelist the relevant rootkit files. If you are not providing it as a package, but users are complaining, then tell them to whitelist the files.

The development version 1.4.7 has been updated since 2018, but not released as a new version (1.4.8). I have no plans to do that as I can no longer support RKH any more. Version 1.4.7 does seem stable though, so should be usable in production. Are you asking to take over the rkhunter project on sourceforge? If so, then I can provide you with some passwords required, and add you as an administrator. (As far as I remember all I need do then is remove myself as an admin, and you are then the project...

Removed redundant comment.

Correct regex used with grep/egrep/sed commands. Also correct msg when link hash changed, it it the target that changed not the link itself.

Renamed the '--versioncheck' option to '--version-check'. Old name still recognized.

Cater for grep 3.8 reporting about stray escape characters in regex.
