it needs the packages smeserver-rkhunter and rkhunter

   /usr/bin/yum install smeserver-rkhunter --enablerepo=smecontribs

   You will get a y/N-question, answer y if it looks fine. There is no need to reboot the server. Note: for SME10, you need to add the epel repository to get the latest rkhunter:

   /usr/bin/yum install smeserver-rkhunter --enablerepo=smecontribs,epel

Alternatively you can use the server-manager panel "Software installer" to add a new package and select smeserver-Rkhunter (repo smecontribs must be enabled) then do the reconfiguration and reboot task, instead of steps 1 and 2, then refresh your browser and configure Rkhunter,.

db configuration setprop rkhunter OPTION VALUE
