1. Locate the RedHat/RPMS directory on the Red Hat Linux 7.2 CD-ROM.
2. Locate the tripwire binary RPM by typing ls -l tripwire* in the RedHat/RPMS
directory.
3. Type rpm -Uvh <name> (where <name> is the name of the Tripwire RPM found in step 2)
4. After installing the tripwire RPM, follow the post-installation instructions outlined below.
The
/usr/share/doc/tripwire- <version-number> .
documents contain important information about the default policy file
and other issues.
11.2.2 Post-Installation Instructions
The tripwire RPM installs the program files needed to run the software. After you've installed
Tripwire, you must configure it for your system as outlined in the following steps:
1. If you already know of several changes that should be made to the configuration file
(/etc/tripwire/twcfg.txt) or the policy file (/etc/tripwire/twpol.txt), edit
those files now.
2. Type /etc/tripwire/twinstall.sh at the command line as root and press
the configuration script. The twinstall.sh script walks you through the processes of setting
passphrases, generating the cryptographic keys that protect the Tripwire configuration and policy
release notes
While you should edit your configuration and policy files to customize
Tripwire to your particular situation, editing the configuration or policy
files is not required to use Tripwire. If you plan to modify the configura-
tion or policy files, you must make these changes before running the con-
figuration script (/etc/tripwire/twinstall.sh). If you modify
the configuration or policy files after running the configuration script, you
must re-run the configuration script before initializing the database file.
Keep in mind that you can edit the configuration and policy files after
initializing the database file and running an integrity check.
