J 2.5.8, php 5.4, latest Akeeba, latest RS Firewall
After a system scan with RS Firewall I get this message:
administrator/components/com_admintools/akeeba/platform/jfscan/engines/archiver/jfscan.php PHP Shell - suspicious code /etc/passwd
RS Firewall advise to check it manually if it is a FP. Can you confirm a FP?
I don't know what an "FP" is supposed to mean. Maybe "false positive"? The best way to be sure is to check this file against a file from a freshly installed copy of Admin Tools. Most likely it is a false positive as this is a file from Admin Tools PHP File Change Scanner which, like RS!Firewall (and, in fact, first implemented before RS!Firewall's similar feature) checks PHP files for suspicious code.

According to RS Joomla it is a False Positive. They suggest to add an exception in RS Firewall for this mentioned Akeeba-file.
It sounds like a good idea.
