[linux-security] Re: Tripwire mess

["R. DuFresne" <dufresne sysinfo com>]

If tripwire 1.3 is included, I'd be very surprised, as tripewire 1.3 is if
I recall the new and cupported and non-shareware/freeware version of the
product.  perhaps they are only charging commercial institutions, I have
not fully reviewed they licensing files...

As for the 1.2 patches.  There was a patch on one of the old distribution
sites for tripwire 1.2, the patch failed to function, and was done by a
fellow close here to my location im minnesota, at the UofM.  when tripwire
repeatedly coredumped for me, I contacted all involved and after a bit of
work, was able to get a working patch from the individual that had
produced the patch.  I could look up all the info for folks, but, damn, I
hate having to locate e-mail in my archives unless really forced to, so,
unless someone really requires bounces or forwards from that archive and
endeavor, I'll hold back.

I would venture the new working patch is out in the old dist sites now, if
not if anyone would like the patch, runs damned fine on my slackware
system <hate the way redhat redoes everything, and am used to slackware>
I'd be happy to make it available to those without the time to search.
drop me a note if you so wish.
