I spent several hours yesterday and today fleshing out a proper default policy file for Gentoo. Now we don't have use the crappy Redhat version from 2002 that ships with tripwire. I have made it more 'gentooesque' by arranging the files/rules based on the package that installs them rather than their function. Now a Gentoo system admin can simply comment out an entire block of rules for packages that are not installed. I hope it works well for people, and maybe after a bit of tweaking by a dev we can get it bundled with the tripwire install.
I posted it (along with more explanation) over at gentoo bugzilla[1]. I plan to improve it even more, and add rules for commonly installed apps such as Apache, MySql, Bind, PHP, syslog-ng, vixie-cron and so on. I will post all my revisions on my personal site[2].
