Rkhunter and SIM


2 of utilities installed on my servers are rkhunter and SIM (system integrity monitor).
I think it's not only my problem... Before SIM installation everything is ok with rkhunter reports but as soon as SIM is installed, rkhunter show up a lot of BAD binaries - 'at least one of file's dependencies has changed since prelinking' is the output.
It's ok? Is there a way to repair the error?

Note that everytime I used rkhunter up to date and the only problem is with those BAD binaries, the rest is ok.

SIM cant' be a reason of your problem. It is just open source perl script and it not change anything in system, only add itself. You should double check what are you doing before installing SIM. And also check your system log for hacking attempt.

Rkhunter is notorious for not updating the md5 sums. What operating system are you using?

I tested this on a new server too, with rkhunter updated, everything is perfect. But as soon as SIM is installed (few minutes later) rkhunter begin to show up a lot of BAD binaries.

Did you run rkhunter --update lately? If not, give it a shot, after SIM is installed.

Thanks!

As I told you before, it's very strange. Errors on rkhunter report appear as soon as I have SIM installed. Before, everything is just fine.
I can't find the reason...

Yes adam, of course.

you should remove libsafe from ld.conf and then rerun prelink. i remember that on fedora prelink and libsafe always has a conflict.
so, don't panic, it is normal for fedora + libsafe. libsafe just do not allow prelink update system libraries and for this reason prelink not work correct and then rkhunter can't correct count control sum for system files. it is possible to solve, but i am not remember how
