2308	Horrible situation with Tripwire	Arthur Demchenkov	bdubbs@…	"Hello, happy (B)LFS users! :-)

As far as I'm installing a plenty of third-party packages on my LFS-6.2 box, I've got a need to control my filesystem integrity for security reasons.

So I've installed tripwire package.
There are bunch of fixes corresponding part of the book should be applied to:

1) Instructions in the book are not correct.
                             AN EXAMPLE:
tripwire --update -twrfile \
    /var/lib/tripwire/report/linux-<???????>-<??????>.twr
                        SHOULD BE CHANGED TO:
tripwire --update --twrfile \
    /var/lib/tripwire/report/$HOSTNAME-<???????>-<??????>.twr

2) http://home.iprimus.com.au/glombowski/blfs/twpol-lfs.txt  IS DAMN OUT OF DATE
I could manage to update it. Or even better to make our own twpol-blfs.txt for example.

3) What do I come to following the BLFS-instructions?
tripwire --update --twrfile bla-bla-bla.twr
...
Entering vim with report. Ok I want to approve all changes made to filesystem -> I just type :x<Enter>
And what I get next? This error message appears:

No protocol specified
Interactive Update failed.
### Error: Report file could not be parsed.  Report may be corrupt.
### Exiting...

And of course the tripwire integrity database is not updated.

I've reinstalled tripwire, checked my config files, but nothing helped. Any ideas?
Ah, my tripwire-configuration is in attachment for your use. Maybe there is another opensource integrity-checking tool we should use in BLFS?
