System: FreeBSD 5.5-PRERELEASE #6: Sat Mar 11 18:50:33 CET 2006
    root@kg-work.kg4.no:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/SS51G
root@kg-work# portversion -v | grep rkhunter
rkhunter-1.2.8              =  up-to-date with port 



>Description:


The rkhunter port has a config file in /usr/local/etc/rkhunter.conf. Whenever the port is installed or upgraded, an existing rkhunter.conf file will be overwritten


>How-To-Repeat:


1) create a dummy conf file in /usr/local/etc/rkhunter.conf. Note the details and / or contents
2) install the port with portinstall -R rkhunter, or directly with 'make install' from the port directory.

This last step also gives the same result if the port is upgraded.


>Fix:


- only install rkhunter.conf if there isn't such a file there already
- if /usr/local/etc/rkhunter.conf exists, install the new conf file as rkhunter.conf.sample
