Thanks!  I'm beginning to wonder if rkhunter is ever going to find any
real intrusions for me if I keep on having to run 'rkhunter --propupd'.
A clever intruder is just going to wait until a batch of changes goe out
and then add their trojan.  The --propupd is going to approve it in the
sweep and it will have succeeded in coming in under the wire.  To be
useful rkhunter really needs to know how to identify changed files by
knowing the hashes, sizes etc without grabbing them from the local
system.
