Yes and no. Your issue is likely caused by prelink, which alters
binaries to load more quickly. This runs as part of a daily cron by
default, so files can and in all likelihood will change over time. You
should consider either adjusting rkhunter, or telling prelink to not
mess with certain file directories.
