Comment 1 Neil 2003-12-17 00:06:22 UTC
i added some files that don't exist they get shown before the software
interupt

i get lots of sections like

### Warning: File system error.
### Filename: /root/.xsession-errors
### No such file or directory
### Continuing...

then the same 

Software interrupt forced exit: Segmentation Fault

I've realised that the tripwire rpm I used was for rhel-2.1, and that
it has been dropped from version rhel-3 (which is a shame)
