Doing it slower, is what I should do once I am protected and want to understand exactly what is going on and learn about it.
BTW, I am still running the installation with the security that is configured by default, hence not a lot. With Tripwire, I want to make sure that the system files have not been tampered with. Because that was the most difficult problem to track on Windows XP.
Anyway, I just tried it again, and this time the installation fails at a different point. E.g.
sudo twadmin --create-cfgfile -S site.key /etc/tripwire/twcfg.txt
sudo twadmin --create-cfgfile -S site.key /etc/tripwire/twcfg.txt
### Error: File could not be opened.
### Filename: /etc/tripwire/twcfg.txt
### No such file or directory
### Exiting...

If you're going to restart the install you need to
Code:
sudo apt-get remove --purge tripwire
sudo apt-get install tripwire
Remember in step 4 you deleted those txt files. So they will not be there if you just repeat the steps, they are generated at install time. I would recommend choosing yes to allow automatic generation of site/db key at install time if you're having trouble. That's why I put the last part as optional.
Hope this helps.
