To the best of my knowledge, it is not possible to deal with the file system errors using this method. Files which simply don't exist must be edited manually in the policy file. Once you have a correct policy file, the method above is fine for approving file system modifications in the future. When I get a report following a package upgrade (for example), I can review the changes, and then just run: tripwire --update -a -r /path/to/twreportname and enter the site pass phrase. Done. However, if I remove a package.... The file system errors occur until I fix the policy file and update the database. I'd be thrilled if someone proves me wrong... ;) - -- - -Michael pgp key: http://www.tuxfan.homeip.net:8080/gpgkey.txt Red Hat Linux 7.{2,3}|8.0 in 8M of RAM: http://www.rule-project.org/ - -- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+Jg4+n/07WoAb/SsRAlrNAKCS7YiHyM2VQjHx56HMf79EPLUwHgCfQeRs Ao/nVQ33DL7w8z8xuo6rY1Y= =QIrs -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
