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

The last word of the warning, your_key_id NOW APPEARS as your_key_ID in italics,

Recipe 8.18, Solution section, items 1 and 2

In each of the first three code lines, the opening backquote should be changed to an
ordinary single quote. That is, these three lines:

DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1,Name=MTA')
DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Name=MTA')
TRUST_AUTH_MECH(`EXTERNAL DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 LOGIN PLAIN')

should be:

DAEMON_OPTIONS('Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1,Name=MTA')
DAEMON_OPTIONS('Port=smtp,Name=MTA')
TRUST_AUTH_MECH('EXTERNAL DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 LOGIN PLAIN')
