Hi!

My system (updated today from FreeBSD 10.1-RELEASE):

FreeBSD 10.2-RELEASE #0 r286666: Wed Aug 12 15:26:37 UTC 2015     
root at releng1.nyi.freebsd.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  amd64


I did run rkhunter -c today and I have one warning which I am confused:

[06:36:50] Warning: The command '/usr/local/bin/GET' has been replaced
by a script: /usr/local/bin/GET: a /usr/local/bin/perl -w script, ASCII
text executable

The file GET has date February 18 and size is 15071

It started with:
#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w

eval 'exec /usr/local/bin/perl -w -S $0 ${1+"$@"}'
    if 0; # not running under some shell

# Simple user agent using LWP library.

=head1 NAME

lwp-request, GET, POST, HEAD - Simple command line user agent

=head1 SYNOPSIS

B<lwp-request> [B<-afPuUsSedvhx>] [B<-m> I<method>] [B<-b> I<base URL>]
[B<-t> I<timeout>]
            [B<-i> I<if-modified-since>] [B<-c> I<content-type>]
            [B<-C> I<credentials>] [B<-p> I<proxy-url>] [B<-o>
I<format>] I<url>...

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This program can be used to send requests to WWW servers and your
local file system. The request content for POST and PUT
methods is read from stdin.  The content of the response is printed on
stdout.  Error messages are printed on stderr.  The program returns a
status value indicating the number of URLs that failed.

The options are:

=over 4

=item -m <method>

Set which method to use for the request.  If this option is not used,
then the method is derived from the name of the program.

=item -f

Force request through, even if the program believes that the method is
illegal.  The server might reject the request eventually.

=item -b <uri>

This URI will be used as the base URI for resolving all relative URIs
given as argument.

=item -t <timeout>

Set the timeout value for the requests.  The timeout is the amount of
time that the program will wait for a response from the remote server
before it fails.  The default unit for the timeout value is seconds.
You might append "m" or "h" to the timeout value to make it minutes or
hours, respectively.  The default timeout is '3m', i.e. 3 minutes.

=item -i <time>

Is it something wrong or is just rkhunter problem, please?

Thank you.
