Tripwire is designed for intrusion detection. ANY changes to the file system can be detected, whether it's a deleted file, a newly created file, or file that has been altered in some way. Tripwire is setup to send out an email on a daily basis, giving you a full report on what's changed. You're probably getting these errors because tripwire was never initially setup.
www.tripwire.org for more info. If you just want to remove it, you can go to /etc/cron.daily & remove the tripwire-check file. Or remove the rpm that installed it ;) -Rob > The root user on my Linux hosts get an email message daily that reads: > > /etc/cron.daily/tripwire-check: > **** Error: Tripwire database for slin01dx not found. **** > **** Run /etc/tripwire/twinstall.sh and/or tripwire --init. **** > > The man page describes tripwire as "a file integrity checker for UNIX > systems".
