Second bullet, "Different Linux distributions may place..." |
Append to the bullet: "And don't forget to check your distribution's CD-ROMs or
ISOs, in case they contain the program but it wasn't installed."
Page 6, final code paragraph:
===============================
1. "etc/tripwire/twcfg.txt" gets a leading slash to become
"/etc/tripwire/twcfg.txt".
2. "site_key" becomes "name_of_site_key", still typeset in italics
(character style CodeReplaceable) to indicate more clearly that it's
a variable.
Thus the correct text is:
# twadmin --create-cfgfile --cfgfile /etc/tripwire/tw.cfg
--site-keyfile name_of_site_key /etc/tripwire/twcfg.txt
Page 7, first code paragraph (the one indicated by the reader):
================================================================
1. "--cfgfile /etc/tripwire/tw.cfg" becomes "--polfile /etc/tripwire/tw.pol"
2. "etc/tripwire/twpol.txt" gets a leading slash to become
"/etc/tripwire/twpol.txt".
3. "site_key" becomes "name_of_site_key", still typeset in italics
(character style CodeReplaceable) to indicate more clearly that it's
a variable. (The reader changed it to the actual name of the key file.)
Thus the correct text is:
# twadmin --create-polfile --polfile /etc/tripwire/tw.pol
--site-keyfile name_of_site_key /etc/tripwire/twpol.txt

Last reviewer quote |
The last reviewer's name should be Klaus Moller with an umlaut over the "o". Not
Miller. For comparison, see Klaus's name in the Preface, page xvii, line 4.

command labeled as "Sign the policy file" |
One of the command options and its associated file specification are wrong in the "Sign the policy file" example.
The example command is:
# Sign the policy file:
twadmin --create-polfile --cfgfile $DIR/tw.cfg
--site-keyfile $SITE_KEY $DIR/twpol.txt
but it should be:
# Sign the policy file:
twadmin --create-polfile --polfile $DIR/tw.pol
--site-keyfile $SITE_KEY $DIR/twpol.txt
Notice that "--cfgfile" has been replaced with "--polfile" and "$DIR/tw.cfg" has been replaced with "$DIR/tw.pol"
Note from the Author or Editor:
The reporter is correct. In the line noted, under the comment "Sign the policy file", change this:
--cfgfile $DIR/tw.cfg \
to this:
--polfile $DIR/tw.pol \ |

NoteWarning, middle of page |
The last word of the warning, your_key_id NOW APPEARS as your_key_ID in italics,
since it is replaceable code.
