Hi Trond,
Normally security/rkhunter during an update renamed your old
configuration with the following scheme :
${RKHINST_ETC_DIR}rkhunter.conf`date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S`, so your old
configuration is never delete or overwrite.
By default RKHINST_ETC_DIR is set to /usr/local/etc/ folder.
You just have to renamed it to keep your old configuration, it's done
like that because rkhunter handle internally the update. If you want
to know more about this, you could check the source code into
installer.sh file
For example, below I've updated it and I got two files, my old created
the 27 November 2010 and my new of 11 January 2011:
(root@freebsd81:/tmp/) # stat /usr/local/etc/rkhunter.conf.20101127023538
73 391826 -rw-r----- 1 root wheel 1599104 37308 "Jan 11 23:11:10 2011"
"Nov 27 02:35:38 2010" "Nov 27 02:35:38 2010" "Nov 27 02:35:38 2010"
16384 76 0 /usr/local/etc/rkhunter.conf.20101127023538
(root@freebsd81:/tmp/rkhunter) # ls -l /usr/local/etc/rkhunter*
-rw-r----- 1 root wheel 37308 Jan 11 23:10 /usr/local/etc/rkhunter.conf
-rw-r----- 1 root wheel 37308 Nov 27 02:35
/usr/local/etc/rkhunter.conf.20101127023538
Sorry for my late answer.
Regards
