The newly released tripwire-2.3.1-185 fixes the segfault, so everyone running 9.0 can safely upgrade. Quoting suse@rio.vg:
Just like the first release of tripwire for SuSE 9.0, the recent security update, 2.3.1-184 segfaults.
[ root@shadow ] ~# rpm -q tripwire tripwire-2.3.1-184 [ root@shadow ] ~# tripwire --check Parsing policy file: /etc/tripwire/tw.pol *** Processing Unix File System *** Performing integrity check... Software interrupt forced exit: Segmentation Fault Abort
I get the same results on two separate machines, one 2x/P2-333 and one P4-1.7. Both systems had been using the previous version of tripwire without any problems, and both are running 9.0. (I haven't purchased 9.1 due to issues I have with th 2.6 kernel that are outside SuSE's control) I am not going to update any of my production servers with this borked version of tripwire, so those are the only two systems tested.
