Hello, happy (B)LFS users! :-)
As far as I'm installing a plenty of third-party packages on my LFS-6.2
box, I've got a need to control my filesystem integrity for security
reasons.
So I've installed tripwire package.
There are bunch of fixes corresponding part of the book should be applied
to:
1) Instructions in the book are not correct.
AN EXAMPLE:
tripwire --update -twrfile \
/var/lib/tripwire/report/linux-<???????>-<??????>.twr
SHOULD BE CHANGED TO:
tripwire --update --twrfile \
/var/lib/tripwire/report/$HOSTNAME-<???????>-<??????>.twr
2) http://home.iprimus.com.au/glombowski/blfs/twpol-lfs.txt IS DAMN OUT
OF DATE
I could manage to update it. Or even better to make our own twpol-blfs.txt
for example.
3) What do I come to following the BLFS-instructions?
tripwire --update --twrfile bla-bla-bla.twr
...
Entering vim with report. Ok I want to approve all changes made to
filesystem -> I just type :x<Enter>
And what I get next? This error message appears:
No protocol specified
Interactive Update failed.
### Error: Report file could not be parsed. Report may be corrupt.
### Exiting...
And of course the tripwire integrity database is not updated.
I've reinstalled tripwire, checked my config files, but nothing helped.
Any ideas?
Ah, my tripwire-configuration is in attachment for your use. Maybe there
is another opensource integrity-checking tool we should use in BLFS?
Best regardz from Spinal
