Hi, I've been spiffing up the open source version of Tripwire(tm) myself, and have come up with some improvements of my own, which have not yet made it into the official version, or in some cases, some of which may never make it into the official version. Other than the following changes, this Tripwire(tm) is still the same.

Features/Changes:

• multi-platform configuration via autoconf's "./configure"
• code cleanups to compile with GCC 3.x, and other non GCC compilers
• optional linking against OpenSSL
• linking against STLport (if compiler doesn't have STL support)
• minor changes to make tripwire 64-bit clean
• minor cleanups to remove -Wall warnings
• example policy files for various OSes

If you think of any new features you'd like to see, or have general feedback, just let me know by sending me a mail, or send them to the tripwire-dev mailing list.

• RedHat 7.x, 8.0

Previous older versions were distributed in patch form. Download an older patch which is meant to patch against version 2.3.1-2 of tripwire. If that doesn't work, you can try an even older version. You can download the original tripwire source from: http://sourceforge.net/projects/tripwire/ To apply the patch, simply type:

  # works for GNU Patch
  bash-2.04$ cd tripwire-2.3.1-2
  bash-2.04$ patch -p1 < tw.patch.file
  bash-2.04$ chmod 755 configure

  # for other non GNU OSes, sometimes '-p0' works
  bash-2.04$ patch < tw.patch.file	
  bash-2.04$ chmod 755 tripwire-2.3.1-2/configure

checking whether byte ordering is bigendian... configure:
 error: can not run test program while cross compiling
