"Tripwire Open Source" initial policy creation
 

Folks

I have installed Tripwire Open Source on FC4 using 'yum install tripwire'

However I only have the twcfg.txt and twpol.txt files in the /etc/tripwire folder after the install.

The tw.cfg policy file doesn't exist. The source install requires running twinstall.sh to create the first policy files and then using twadmin --create-polfile to update this. However it seems unless this file already exists it is not possible to update the policy files. The error I get is :

### Error: File could not be opened
### Filename: /etc/tripwire/tw.cfg
### Configuration file could not be read
### Exiting ...

Anyone know how to manually create the initial policy file when it doesn't exist and I've done an RPM install rather than from source?

thanks,

Mike.
