AuthBasicAurhorative off
AuthUserFile /dev/null

Or you can just ignore the errror I suppose. It looks more serious than it is.

These days I spend most of my time in Trac, though I long for a switch back to Mantis.

# rkhunter --propupd will “update the entire file properties database, or just for the specified entries”. Run after a significant system upgrade or prepare for a few moments of self-inflicted panic a day or two later.
