I have this idea I am thinking of using for deploying Tripwire on our servers. Newly installed servers (I always start from scratch) will never have all the files included in the policy file since it assumes everything is installed (I on the other hand do custom installs to minimize disk space and exposure). Anyway, what I was thinking was this: 1. run tripwire with default policy 2. errors generated will be grepped for lines beginning with "Filename:" and redirected to a logfile 3. use a custom script to remove or comment out the filenames in the logfile from the default policy file Be aware though that although in theory this will work, I haven't personally used this method as I am still in the process of re-installing my servers with 8.0, but it should work. Even a shell script ought to do the work. Most of the time I use this scripting method to solve repetitive problems (problems that will occur again over time or on another system).
