Tripwire Nightware on Linux (proc filesystem)
Hello,
I am having a nightmare with Tripwire on Linux..... I cannot get it to ignore the /proc filesystem, which I want to completely ignore for now
Has anyone here successfully configured Tripwire on Linux and completed ignored the /proc filesystem ?
If so, please reply and tell me how you did it.
Thanks.
Sample junk I want to get rid of .... !! I get tons of these each time I run any update to the database, the config file, run a check, etc. I don't want them at all!
The above is a small sample of the hundreds of /proc errors I get with tripwire.... !

Well, I solved it.
The problem was that I added a directory to the tripwire that had a very huge file in the path I forgot about. Rebuilding the tripwire policy database failed when it ran into that huge file but the end of the process said "Success!' so it was confusing.
When I removed that object from the tripwire configuration, I could rebuild the tripwire policy database and then the /proc configuration worked.
So, I am making progress on this project .

Hi guys, I am confused about how containers work in Linux, especially how chrooting works and about how /proc filesystems are mounted.

due to /proc getting a lot of files.
My question is : Can I delete files/directories in /proc directory.
If not what could be the other way round to clean up /proc so... (18 Replies)
Hi,
I am trying to calculate the CPU Usage by getting the difference between the idle time reported by /proc/stat at 2 different intervals. Now the 4th entry in the first line of /proc/stat will give me the 'idle time'. But I also came across /proc/uptime that gives me 2 entries : 1st one as the... (0 Replies)
Hi,
Please have a look this: http://tldp.org/LDP/Linux-Filesystem-Hierarchy/Linux-Filesystem-Hierarchy.pdf
I think this can be very useful for a beginner/intermediate level user to understand the filesystem hierarchy and as well as it can be used as a reference to various linux commands and... (0 Replies)
I wrote a wrapper (call it prog1) around another program (call it prog2) for security purposes. When prog1 launches prog2 it sets the argv value to be "prog1" so that "prog2" does not show up when you use the "ps" command. Howerver, if you use the option "-o fname" with "ps" then the file name for... (3 Replies)
