Bug in Plesk secur-check

There is a bug, when this cron job is called:

/usr/local/psa/libexec/modules/watchdog/cp/secur-check

The log looks like this:

[ Rootkit Hunter version 1.3.4 ]

Checking rkhunter data files...
Checking file mirrors.dat [ No update ]
Checking file programs_bad.dat [ No update ]
Checking file backdoorports.dat [ No update ]
Checking file suspscan.dat [ No update ]
Checking file i18n/cn [ No update ]
Checking file i18n/de [ No update ]
Checking file i18n/en [ No update ]
Checking file i18n/zh [ No update ]
Checking file i18n/zh.utf8 [ No update ]
Invalid option specified: --report-mode

So how can that "invalid option" be corrected? As far as I can see, this is a call in that secur-check, that is crypted for plesk.

TIA Detlef
 
Affirmative! I am seeing this too.

Parallels, what is your suggested move to tackle this problem?
 
Hi,

please check the file "libexec/modules/watchdog/security/schedule" in your plesk folder (usually /opt/psa/ depending on your install).

HTH!

Regards,
Christian
 
Thanks, for pointing me at the right location!

I removed the report-mode switch since I could not find a proper substitute. Seems to work now.
