   From: BitTwister@mouse-potato.com   
      
   Does anyone know how to suppress the   
        Warning: The syslog daemon is not running.   
   message?   
      
   Mageia 3 does not install one of the system logger apps. Default   
   install is using journald as the logger and rkhunter does not know it is   
   the default and is running.  :(   
      
      
   FYI:  I can recommend adding   
     RTKT_FILE_WHITELIST="/etc/crontab"   
   to a /etc/rkhunter.conf.local file. After that change, run   
      
      rkhunter --skip-keypress -C   
      /bin/rm -f /dev/shm/pulse*   
      rkhunter --propupd   
      
      
   That has suppressed the warning messages I get from the /etc/cron.daily run   
   like this snippet:   
      
   Warning: The following processes are using suspicious files:   
            Command: crond   
              UID: 0    PID: 805   
              Pathname: /etc/crontab   
              Possible Rootkit: Unknown rootkit   
         
   run-parts: /etc/cron.daily/rkhunter exited with return code 1
