17.3. Configuration files

Note: All the configuration files required for each software described in this book has been provided by us as a gzipped file, floppy.tgz for your convenience. This can be downloaded from this web address: http://www.openna.com/books/floppy.tgz You can unpack this to any location on your local machine, say for example /tmp, assuming you have done this your directory structure will be /tmp/floppy. Within this floppy directory each configuration file has its own directory for respective software. For example Tripwire-2.2.1 configuration file are organised like this:

                 total 16
                 -rw-r--r--    1 harrypotter    harrypotter        3312 Jun  8 13:00 install.cfg
                 -rw-r--r--    1 harrypotter    harrypotter       10152 Jun  8 13:00 twpol.txt
               
You can either cut and paste this directly if you are faithfully following our instructions from the begining or manually edit these to modify to your needs. This facility is there though as a convenience but please don't forget ultimately it will be your responsibility to check, verify, etc. before you use them whether modified or as it is.

To run Tripwire for Linux, the following file is required and must be created or copied to the appropriate directory on your server. Copy the twpol.txt file to the /usr/TSS/policy directory.

Tip: You can obtain the configuration file listed below on our floppy.tgz archive. Copy the following file from the decompressed floppy.tgz archive to the appropriate place, or copy and paste it directly from this book to the concerned file.
