Yes, but in a haphazard, infrequent manner.  The whole point of
me installing rkhunter was to automate detection of trojans.   If I'm
going to have to check the hashes myself, what is rkhunter bringing to
the party?

The more I think about it the more --propupd bothers me.  rkhunter emits
warnings that turn into regular mailbox clutter and sooner or later one
is going to ignore them.
