Updating the Tripwire database

About this task

Once a file monitored by Tripwire changes, it will be flagged in every integrity check until the Tripwire database is updated.

After you have taken the necessary corrective action, update the Tripwire database using the report file.

Procedure

  1. Type tripwire --check, and press Enter
  2. Type tripwire –m u –twrfile /var/lib/tripwire/report/<filename>.twr.

    This updates the Tripwire database so the modified files are not flagged in the next integrity check.
