Every admin has a set of security tools that he just can't live without. Rkhunter (http://sourceforge.net/projects/rkhunter/) is one of them. This scanning tool checks for signs of various pieces of nasty software on your system like rootkits, backdoors and local exploits.
If you have always had to rely on a sysadmin to run the rkhunter script from shell on your server, this is your opportunity to watch it perform from your cPanel WHM.
Admin-Ahead Server Technologies (http://admin-ahead.com) has released a new Installer, which creates a plugin in your WHM. With just a click, this plugin helps you to install Rkhunter on your server and run it with ease from your WHM.
All you admins out there, sit back, relax and enjoy. Say good bye to all the shell activity.

If you install it, and it creates a plugin, is the plugin available to all users of the server, or just the root user?

No, it is only accessible via Root WHM, though the plugin shows for the resellers. If they try to access it, it will print : "You do not have access to RKHUNTER interface."

Hello,

yum -y install dialog
----------------------

Please issue the command as root on shell, and it should install "dialog" on your server if this is a linux server, assuming you have yum.

If this is any other server without yum, please install the dialog binary and then run the script again.
