Strange rkhunter daily email reports
Hello,
I have having trouble isolating what is causing my daily email of rkhunter report to only contain gibberish. The email has 32 lines that look like random characters. eg ICAgICBbIE5vIHVwZGF0ZSBdCiAgQ2hlY2tpbmcgZmlsZSBiYWNrZG9vcnBvcnRzLmRhdCAg ICAgICAgICAgICAgICBbIE5vIHVwZGF0ZSBdCiAgQ2hlY2tpbmcgZmlsZSBpMThuL2RlICAg On my server, the rkhunter logs look ok. eg rkhunter -C [04:06:55] Running Rootkit Hunter version 1.4.6 on web1 [04:06:55] [04:06:55] Info: Start date is Thu Apr 22 04:06:55 UTC 2021 [04:06:55] [04:06:55] Checking configuration file and command-line options...

For anyone experiencing the same issue.
The solution was to use a different email viewer. eg Thunderbird Thunderbird does not display the report in the email body, it offers it as an attached text file. |
