/var/log/lynis.log stores the Lynis activity record as it runs. You may find the warnings and suggestions in this file but it is difficult since this file is about 10 times as big as the report.dat file.

BTW – the most current version of Lynis is 3.0.4.

The newest version of this is now 2.5.5. If you’re an ARCH user all you need to do is run a ↵ “sudo pacman -S lynis” and you’ll get this: “community/lynis 2.5.5-1“.
