I've recently installed tripwire on my webserver and am trying to edit the policy file so it won't spit out so many of these errors
Code:
### Warning: File system error.
### Filename: /etc/smb.conf
### No such file or directory
### Continuing...
I've commented out the offending files in the /etc/tripwire/twpol.txt file and attempted to do a
tripwire --update-policy /etc/tripwire/twpo.txt
but all hell breaks loose during step 1 of the update proccess
Code:
[root@aeon /home/alex/downloads/tripwire-2.3 ] #tripwire --update-policy /etc/tripwire/twpol.txt
Parsing policy file: /etc/tripwire/twpol.txt

What's wrong?
