twadmin -m P -S /etc/tripwire/site.key /etc/tripwire/twpol.txt
That's a lot to have to type for a simple rebuild.  Since (most of
the time) the same keys and same policy files will be used, how
about if you make a Makefile in /etc/tripwire, much like is done
in /etc/mail, to rebuild these files more easily?

Sounds fairly reasonable to me.  Will consider for a future release.

Thanks.

I think that the folowing features would be very usefull option in tripwire:

1: identify files that don't belong to any RPM package. Most of the trojen 
horse type files are not part of any package.

2: generate checksumm "sum -s <file_name>" and compare to checksum stored in 
RPM database

Deferring for future consideration.  If someone supplies a patch, etc. it
could help speed up this possible enhancement.

Comment 4 John Thacker 2006-04-22 00:47:58 UTC

Closing bug, since tripwire hasn't been shipped for so long.
