Description mal 2000-08-11 15:56:50 UTC

When command line option which corresponds to a file 
is set to a directory - tripwire crashes.

tripwire -c /tmp/     
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

tripwire -d /tmp/
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

non-existent files are OK, it does not crash, it just prints
error message.

tripwire -c /tmp/ggggg
couldn't open /tmp/ggggg: No such file or directory

Comment 1 Ngo Than 2000-08-14 16:15:54 UTC

i can't reproduce this problem.

tripwire -d /tmp/
Unknown mode specified: -d
Use --help to get help.

i don't see Segmentation fault (core dumped)

tripwire-1.2-10 is obsoletes was removed from powertools.
We have the new tripwire-2.3 in RC1. It does't have this problem
