Hi All,
I followed a Fedora 2 book for setting up tripwire(FC3 box), and
used a perl script(from the same book) that scans the twpol.txt
file, removes/adds what's needed and updates the file, which saves a
lot of manual stuff. Anyway, this is the command I executed,
/usr/local/bin/cleanpol.pl <twpol.txt.orig \ >twpol.txt
and, it showed 4 additions and 141 removals. I then went and opened
twpol.txt with Gedit, but, it's empty. Shouldn't this file be
updated with the revised rules.? Confused. Cheers.

Sounds like a problem with the script. I have always manually edited
the twpol.txt file clean it of missing files and add in things that are
not included.
I usually run a check and then use that report to walk through the
policy making the required changes. Usually takes about 3 or 4 passes
to get a clean policy setup.
Which book are you using? Would be interested in such a script if one
exists.
Hi All,
am using Beginning Fedora 2 from Wrox. I'll copy the script from the
box(hasn't touched the net yet) and paste it in here for you. Rather
handy, when it works(which it has on another machine, some time ago).
Cheers.

Hi All,
here is the script,
#! /usr/bin/perl -w
$Additions = 0;
$Removals = 0;
while ($line = <STDIN>) {
if ( $line =~ /^\s*#\s*(\/\S+)/ ) {
if ( -e $1 ) {
$line =~ s/^\s*#//;
$Additions++;
}
}elsif ( $line =~ /^\s*(\/\S+)/ ) {
if ( ! -e $1 ) {
$line = "#" . $line;
$Removals++;
}
}
}
print STDERR "Number of additions: $Additions\n";
print STDERR "Number of removals: $Removals\n";
Cheers.
