Description Alan Hoyle 2001-01-10 15:24:27 UTC

I checked bugzilla, and wasn't able to find another bug where it failed on
the database generation part of tripwire.  I'm using the default settings
for the installation.  

[root@nelson /tmp]# /sbin/tripwire -init
### Phase 1:   Reading configuration file
### Phase 2:   Generating file list
### Phase 3:   Creating file information database
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
[root@nelson /tmp]# rpm -q tripwire
tripwire-2.3-56
[root@nelson /tmp]#

Comment 1 Ngo Than 2001-01-16 16:09:31 UTC

you should run /etc/tripwire/twinstall.sh to generate cryptographic keys, and
"tripwire --init" to initialize the
database. 

i cannot reproduce this problem on my local machine. Could you please check it
again.

Why was tripwire installed under /sbin on yor machine?  in tripwire-2.3-56
tripwire is installed
under /usr/sbin and this package is not in in powwertools, but in distri!

Comment 2 Alan Hoyle 2001-01-16 20:32:00 UTC

Sorry about putting this into Powertools....  I 

My currently installed rpm is for 2.3-56.  I originally received this error on
the .rpm that the 7.0 installer got:  2.3-55.  I checked in Bugzilla for idea
and saw a reference to 2.3-56 as potentially fixing problems.  I downloaded and
installed a copy of the file, but I'm not 100% sure of the origin.  I'm 90% sure
it came from Redhat or a mirror site (likely ibiblio), but I _do_ often download
.rpms from rufus.w3.org.  Here is the best information I have on the package.  I
can provide a core if that would help.

This issue is not fully resolved.

The very same segfault failure originally reported occurs on Tripwire version
1.2 (patchlevel 2), the latest one distributed for the Sparc 32 architecture.

There is no 'twinst.sh' script as part of the distribution for 6.2 Sparc.

Please advise as to a fix.
