i tried to install force util-linux rpm, the installation is succeeded. then i run rkhunter again, but still get the same error on this files:

> /bin/kill [ BAD ]
> /sbin/insmod [ BAD ]
> /sbin/lsmod [ BAD ]
> /sbin/modprobe [ BAD ]
> /usr/bin/file [ BAD ]

does a rpm -ivh --force do overwrite the current installation files on the server?

i do this inside VE

Best Regards,
Markus

Yes and no -- those are modified from the standard packages you would
have in a normal system, but the modification is to be expected with
OpenVZ. Er, except maybe the /usr/bin/file binary...

Again, probably expected: the proc file system within the VE isn't
identical to a physical system.
