Hello Mr. Claes
I'm a Tripwire 2.3.1.2.0-4 user on a i386 Debian Sarge machine and I
think I've found a bug in this program.
I run tripwire from cron (cron.daily) and, in this case, the root
directory (atime and ctime) is changed while tripwire is running (but if
you run tripwire from console in root session, the root directory
doesn't change). So you always receives an error report with these changes.
I searched for this error in the documentation and on Internet, but
I only found some people who had the same error, but no resolv for it.
In the documentation I read that the option "TEMPDIRECTORY" in twcfg.txt
file is used to set an alternative temp directory for tripwire different
from /tmp which is the default value for this option. I tried to put
this option into twcfg.txt and set it with "/tmp" value:
TEMPDIRECTORY =/tmp
Theorily, this works the same like do not to put anything because it's
the default value. Well, when I put this option, tripwire doesn't change
the root directory never more.
I hope this would be an improve for the program, won't it?
If you need more information, please, ask me for it.
I wait for news from you
Greetings
Jorge Redondo
