I get these warnings every single day from Rootkit Hunter:

---------------------- Start Rootkit Hunter Scan ----------------------
Warning: Package manager verification has failed:
         File: /usr/sbin/tcpd
         The file permissions have changed
Warning: Package manager verification has failed:
         File: /usr/bin/less
         The symbolic link target has changed
Warning: Package manager verification has failed:
         File: /usr/bin/telnet
         The file permissions have changed

----------------------- End Rootkit Hunter Scan -----------------------

And yes :-) I have run rkhunter --propupd before and after this problem started. No change, still get these warnings every day. Why and how can I stop them?

The question should rather be: Why do these files change on a daily basis? – Gerald Schneider Aug 13 '20 at 10:03
As far as I know, they don't. To be sure I've checked all three, and taken a screen shot to see if they are different tomorrow. – Eric Aug 13 '20 at 13:03
