Question RK Hunter warnings ?

Hi all,
Happy new year !

Some of my servers have some warnings in RK hunter report, like those one :
Code:
[01:01:20] Warning: The command '/usr/local/bin/rkhunter' has been replaced and is not a script: /usr/local/bin/rkhunter: POSIX shell script, ASCII text executable

[01:01:49] Checking '/etc/xinetd.d/ftp_psa' for enabled services [ Warning ]

[01:01:53]   Checking if SSH root access is allowed          [ Warning ]
[01:01:53] Warning: The SSH and rkhunter configuration options should be the same:

[01:01:54] Warning: Application 'sshd', version '6.0p1', is out of date, and possibly a security risk.

Is there something serious in these warnings ?
 
It looks like that you use custom /usr/local/bin/rkhunter
By default Plesk uses /usr/local/psa/admin/bin/modules/watchdog/rkhunter file.
But for preventing this warning you can add to file /usr/local/psa/etc/modules/watchdog/rkhunter.conf line like

SCRIPTWHITELIST=/usr/local/bin/rkhunter
 
Hi Igor,
Thx for answer.
Ok i will do it despite i never changed anything about rkhunter config but perhaps it come from my hoster basic conf.

Nothing serious about other warnings ?
 
Warning is not Error. I think that nothing suspicious there.
