hi,
has anybody an idea why this directory has to be hidden? each time I run
rkhunter it complains I should inspect this directory. I guess this
directory contains device information for udev, but has it to be hidden?
/dev normally contains only device names and hence udev stores its
private configuration information in a hidden directory. Rkhunter
complains because rootkits are known to create such directories. You can
mail the rkhunter author to notify this and check if it has a whitelist
or just ignore the message.
