Just downloaded and installed Tripwire from the powertools 5.2 directory. Upon installation it started running itself in initialise mode i assume, but left no database files anywhere. So I ran it manually as root with -v -initialise options it then generates the directory /etc/databases and starts scanning the files (using the standard /etc/tw.config). It runs for a few minutes then crashes with a segmentation fault :- scanning: /usr/lib/linuxconf/images/vpolicies.xpm scanning: /usr/lib/linuxconf/images/vpopuser.xpm scanning: /usr/lib/linuxconf/images/Aloita.gif scanning: /usr/lib/linuxconf/images/Apua.gif scanning: /usr/lib/linuxconf/images/Ei.gif scanning: /usr/lib/linuxconf/images/Hyvdksy.gif Segmentation fault Whats going wrong?

I got the same behavior. segfaulted at the same point as reporter's system.
Don't rerun the initialize! It will dump core. This same thing was happening in the RHCE courses, I rebuilt the package without initialize and it worked *since* they initialized the db by hand. Here is what is happening in theposktinhstall of tripwire: cd /var/spool/tripwire (/usr/sbin/tripwire -initialize 2>&1 | \ /bin/mail -s "Tripwire initialization report" root ) \ && mv databases/tw.db_* . && rm -rf databases & Tim
