If konsole can't find it, it is not in your PATH. Your default path with not include /sbin;/usr/sbin so if it gets put there -- there is your answer.
Howerver, root does have /sbin in it's path -- have you tried to su to root and then run it?
It probably does, but I always "rpm -e command-not-found" to get rid of the 3-line mess. Looking at the rkhunter source "install.sh" as well as the opensuse rpm "rkhunter-1.4.2-11.1.x86_64.rpm", both install to /usr/bin (or /usr/local/bin), so there should be no need for any PATH modification. My only other thought is somehow the permissions on the executable got messed up so you no longer have the execute bit set. Please provide an 'ls -al' listing of /usr/bin/rkh* and /usr/lib64/rkhunter/scripts (adjust the paths as required if you installed them to another directory, e.g. /usr/local/...) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E. Hi, I thought about this overnight and came to the conclusion that upgrading rkhunter from a different directory than the original installation wouldn't have any bearing on whether the program would start from command line. It always started from any point the root system if I typed the command rkhunter. Now it won't. I wondered if the tarball that I downloaded was corrupted, so I removed rkhunter, and cleared the root system of every rkhunter file. Then I downloaded the tarball from sourceforge again, extracted it, and installed it. Here is the result linux-2b8:/home/lx1/Downloads/rkhunter-1.4.6 # ./installer.sh --install Checking system for: Rootkit Hunter installer files: found A web file download command: wget found Starting installation: Checking installation directory "/usr/local": it exists and is writable.

Hi, Thanks for the suggestions. I found that shadow was already installed, but I can't start it. I think that it must be affected by the same issue as rkhunter was. It also does not appear in the application menu. As far as /etc/profile.local I think I just don't know the correct way to create the file.

I used the export statement
export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH
in my current bash session, and after that I was able to start rkhunter as normal from root. Of course, when I closed the bash session and started a new bash root session, it didn't work until I used the export statement once again.
I wanted to make the path change permanent for the system. I found that there was no /etc/profile.local so I made a profile.local file in /etc and copied the export statement in it. I tried it out, and rkhunter wouldn't start. So I must be doing it incorrectly. Can you provide me with instructions as to how to do this correctly?
the "permanent" change is only affected upon a new login. logout completely and login again and check the PATH for /usr/local/bin, echo $PATH it should be there and remain until you change it. the reason for /etc/profile.local is so system updates will not alter it. another solution would be to install shadow which I *thought* was installed automagically, apparently I was wrong. zypper if shadow/rpm -qi shadow: This package includes the necessary programs for converting plain password files to the shadow password format and to manage user and group accounts.
or as someone else suggested, add it to ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash.profile which is initiated upon opening a new instance of <shell,program>, iirc.
I would prefer /etc/profile.local.
Hi, Thanks for the suggestions.
I found that shadow was already installed, but I can't start it. I think that it must be affected by the same issue as rkhunter was. It also does not appear in the application menu.
As far as /etc/profile.local I think I just don't know the correct way to create the file. Here's what I did, but since it didn't work I think I must have done it wrong. Can you suggest some corrections?
cat <<EOF>/etc/profile.local export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH EOF
follow Carlos' suggestion, edit with a text editor you say shadow was already installed, what version and what does the following provide: grep "/usr/local/bin" /etc/login.defs every system I have provides: ENV_PATH PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin which should place "/usr/local/bin" into your $PATH -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Yes, sorry, my bad, it should be: [[ $PATH =~ /usr/local/bin ]] || export PATH="${PATH}:/usr/local/bin" (it was late....) Also, as Patrick noted, the /usr/local/bin path component is automatically provided if you install the 'shadow' rpm.

You should install the shadow package, e.g. as root
# zypper in shadow
If you don't want to install it for some reason, then add the full:
[[ $PATH =~ /usr/local/bin ]] || export PATH="${PATH}:/usr/local/bin"
to your .bashrc
(so that it checks whether /usr/local/bin is already part of your path before it adds it again -- so you don't end up with multiple additions)

Hi, I've been quite busy elsewhere and haven't had time to work on this till this evening. I tried to modify /etc/profile several times in various ways and couldn't get the PATH changed to include /usr/local/bin I couldn't figure out how to use shadow. I modified the etc/bash.bashrc as David suggested, this evening by placing the [[ $PATH =~ /usr/local/bin ]] || export PATH="${PATH}:/usr/local/bin" on the last line of the bash.bashrc script as below: if test "$restricted" = true -a -z "$PROFILEREAD" ; then PATH=/usr/lib/restricted/bin export PATH fi [[ $PATH =~ /usr/local/bin ]] || export PATH="${PATH}:/usr/local/bin" # # End of /etc/bash.bashrc # That got the rkhunter program working in konsole after I logged back out and in again as my user, and then opened konsole and switched to root. I used zypper dup my 42.3 on a different computer to upgradet to 15.0, and found that rkhunter also doesn't work on it now after the upgrade. So I will use this same procedure to get it working, since it seems that /usr/local/bin was removed in 15.0 PATH by the operating system programmers. Thanks for the help. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
