The errors you're seeing indicate a couple of issues.
The first error, "236: SafeFile: not found" suggests that Lynis is trying to access a file that doesn't exist or it might be a problem with the Lynis script itself.
The second and third errors seem to relate to permissions issues. "661: : Permission denied" is a straight-forward permission error, indicating that the user doesn't have the right permissions to execute a certain command or access a file. The third error is similar, stating that a particular language file has incorrect permissions or ownership.
To resolve these issues, you can try the following tips:
1. Check whether the file Lynis is trying to access (in the SafeFile error) actually exists.
2. Change the permissions of the directory or file:
You can use the following command to change the file permission:
sudo chmod -R 755 /home/cisco/Downloads/lynis/
This command will change the permission of all the files in the directory and sub-directory to read and execute access for everyone and also write access for the owner of the file.
3. Change the owner of the files to the current user (if it's not already), using chown command:
sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /home/cisco/Downloads/lynis/
where $USER should be replaced with your username. This will change the ownership to the current user.
If these steps don't resolve your problem, you might need to look into more specific solutions. Let me know if you need further assistance.
