Running a rootkit hunter is they only precaution I take running Linux

Liquid and computers don't mix. It might seem simple, but we see an incredible amount of people post here about spills. Keep drinks and other liquids away from your expensive electronics!

I installed rkhunter 1.3.6, ran the rkhunter --update, rkhunter --propupd and I get all these warnings for my binaries - the /var/log/rkhunter.log says the below for each of my binaries (84 of them)

Warning: No hash value found for file '/bin/ed' in the rkhunter.dat file.
Warning: Unable to obtain current properties for file '/bin/ed'
Warning: Unable to obtain current write permission for file '/bin/ed'

Are these warnings okay to ignore - just checking - no help yet on google

Thanks!
