I don't know what's screwy with 29 .. maybe some other device is on port 168
and is upset at you twiddling with it?  Dunno.

Anyway.:)  Tripwire shouldn't be concerning itself with /proc anyway.  This
is a virtual filesystem changing all the time.  Add a line to your tw.config
to exclude the /proc system like..

# exclude all of /proc
=/proc E

.. although that assumes you're using the 1.2 version of tripwire (which
seems very suseptable to segfaults at the best of times) and not the new
opensource 2.3 version that's part of redhat 7.0.  If you're not..  can you
tell me how you shoe horned the rh7.0 version into rh6.2 - I couldn't make
it build.  Hmm.. but that's going off on something of a tangent... :)

I'd be interested to hear if you do figure our what is going on with the
serial driver 'though.
