Kernel Hook Module (KHM) is a component needed for SPLX (Server Protect for Linux) to enable the real-time scan.

The following error message appears when enabling the real-time scan:

"The necessary Kernel Hooking Module (KHM) for this version of ServerProtect for Linux is not loaded..."

This happens because of possible permission issues.

[root@RHEL5-SPLX ~]# cat /etc/*release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.4

Please take note of the output of the above commands on the Linux terminal.
Get the KHM by doing any of the following:
