False positives, or am I missing something going on that I shouldn't be?
I emailed this to the creator of rootkit hunter, but since I noticed he said his email inbox is pretty full, perhaps you guys can answer this more quickly:I am not quite sure what to make of what rkhunter told me. This is my first time running it, and I am a VERY "paranoid" sysadmin. (which is, for all intents and purposes, good!) I check daily every command users on my machine execute, I look at logwatch everyday, ect ect.
I ran rkhunter out of curiosity more than anything, and here is what it showed me:

This is a fedora core 2 server, updated via yum every night. The only thing that has been ran that could (but shouldnt) change the hashes of those files is LES, (linux security environment), which is basically a script that "locks down" your box for you. (www.rfxnetworks.com)
Any ideas? Perhaps these are false positives? I sure hope they are, or else I have been missing something that I shouldn't be.
There were no other errors about anything else other than what it reported above.
Any ideas guys?
