Tripwire on your Fedora Box

Tripwire Installation and Configuration

You can either download the source rpm and compile the binary from it or download the binary rpm directly. If you want to download the binary directly, click here for various download options and you can skip this section on compiling the source RPM and continue from next section.

Download the source RPM from http://download.fedora.us/fedora/fedora/1/i386/SRPMS.testing/tripwire-2.3.1-18.fdr.3.1.src.rpm and save it in /tmp directory.

Now let us build the binary using the following command.

# rpmbuild --rebuild tripwire-2.3.1-18.fdr.3.1.src.rpm

If everything goes right, you should get something like above. If not check whether your system meets the requirements for Tripwire or refer to appropriate mailing lists.
