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]#
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!
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. # rpm -q tripwire --changelog * Wed Sep 20 2000 Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin> - change exclusivearch: i386 to exclusivearch: %{ix86} (#17759) * Wed Aug 23 2000 Than Ngo <than> - remove copyleft information in specfile (Bug #16765) * Tue Aug 22 2000 Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin> - remove duplicate source files - sync up description with specspo * Fri Aug 04 2000 Than Ngo <than> - remove Vendor and Distribution from specfile (Bug #15246) * Fri Aug 04 2000 Than Ngo <than> - starts tripwire --check if it was configured before.

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.
