Current version of rkhunter appears to be 1.3.8 - you might try adjusting accordingly.

thanks Stever!

So obvious really…lol

so what other security measures would people recommend?

Any advice on how to install:

fail2ban

denyhosts

logcheck

You realize this isn't an IRC channel, right? you can express more than one thought in a post…

As far as fail2ban, etc go… are you running into any specific issues getting them installed?

Hi JSH,

Yes when I tried to install Virtualmin after having installed RKHunter and denyhosts, it would install.

So I just installed Virtualmin without bothering with rkhunter etc

I now have 2 questions.

1) How do I install a wordpress website now, in Virtualmin/webmin

2) How do i install things like RKhunter - can i still go intot he command shell and install them?
