Rkhunter warning

Support & Help Requests
#1

Hello everyone,

I use Ubuntu 16.04 and I recently started running rkhunter.
Everytime I run it I always get this warning: Warning: The command ‘/usr/bin/lwp-request’ has been replaced by a script: /usr/bin/lwp-request: a /usr/bin/perl -w script, ASCII text.

I am not sure what this might means and I do not really konw how to deal with it. Does anyone know about this? Is it a false positive? If not, what can I do?

Thanks in advance.

Hello
I moved this topic to the support section.
According to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RKhunter those warnings are benign and occur even on a fresh install. You apparently need to whitelist those so the warnings disappear.

Hi,

That’s a relief.
I’ll try to do that.

Thank you for your help!
