Hi, tripwire is a little special to other debian packages. first at all have a look under /usr/lib/tripwire. There you'll find (nearly) everything you need. The tripwire executable there is the one you want to run. Integrity-checking is run by cron-daily and the result is mailed to [conf it in /etc/tripwire/tw.config]. The reason why tripwire (exe) is not (e.g.) in /usr/bin is that it is strongly recommended to copy the whole thing on a removeable media (zip-drive/cd etc.) and write-protect it. Checking by hand is done by simply running 'tripwire [-q]' without other options. Hope that helps.
