Hi Mark - IIRC there was an update made that stopped that from happening. But I think that was - maybe - 15.2? So I’m not sure it’s relevant?
@markLopez9 what is the filename of the hidden file?
If I recall it right, I started encountering this when I upgraded from 15.2 to 15.3, which carried over to 15.4 later on. Haven’t upgraded to 15.5 yet though.
Hey @malcolmlewis it’s the same file and path: /usr/bin/.hmac256.hmac
@markLopez9 the offending one for @pattim was whitelist /usr/bin/.fipscheck.hmac (boo#1030378).
You would need to raise a bug report, or whitelist yourself… https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Submitting_bug_reports Use https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1030378 as a template…
Strange. The one I quoted above is the first message on the thread back in February 2022 and it includes the one I’m having issues with.
@markLopez9 If you check the rkhunter changelog there is only that one reference https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/security/rkhunter/rkhunter.changes?expand=1
Interesting. That change log entry was back in 2017 and this original post was started about 5 years later (2022). So I suppose we can therefore conclude that the maintainer ignored @pattim 
Anyway, in a separate thread of mine, people labeled this as a false positive and was advised to just go down the route of whitelisting myself. So yeah, I’ll do that. Thanks!
