I thought the default was /etc/tripwire/*.*

My line is if you're curious

tripwire --update

The file /var/lib/tripwire/report/localhost.computer****.twr
is there it just wont open it.

My bad. Try this. As root,

locate *.twr

Copy it and do

tripwire --update -r path-to-report-file

You're in vi. Take a look. Exit. Type passphrase. That's it.
