I would like to install RK Hunter on my name servers and the main ISPConfig console, the problem is with ubuntu it installs postfix, (I am running a multiple server setup) how do I avoid installing postfix and the other packages it wants to install
The easiest way is to build your own rkhunter executable: http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/rkhunter/wiki/SPRKH#Clean Install
in case you want to keep using packages instead of compiling yourself, use: Code: aptitude download rkhunter dpkg --force-all -i rkhunter*.deb
It installs but complains It installs but complains about not having binutils, will it still work with ISPConfig name server only
Works just fine here, but i DO have binutils installed and i think it's needed by rkhunter to check for certain file properties etc, just install it.
