Resolved Centos 7.5 rkhunter watchdog warnings

Topkat

New Pleskian
Hi,

I have a Centos 7.5 server running Plesk Onyx 17.8. I installed a program called watchdog which gave these warnings. How can I fix them? I’m tempted to switch server and do a fresh install of everything. But first I’d like some feedback from some of you experts out there. Are these warnings easily fixable?

Thanks for replying. It looks like I can ignore these errors. I think that Plesk should update their software so we don't get these warnings with a default setup.

rkhunter is not Plesk software, it is third-party component used in Plesk. And warnings are not errors. They are just for your attention.
