I allowed rhn up2date to download and install tripwire 2.3.0.50 this evening. I was running the RH 7.x RPM version available for download at http://www.tripwire.org.
Needless to say, it wiped out my /etc/tripwire/ directory, taking my config files that I spent hours on with it. It seemed to update the tripwire binary just fine though.
To correct, I 'rpm -e' the up2date version and reinstalled the version from the website. All seems well now.
I just wanted to let you guys know to be careful with this one. Being a bright green newbie, I'm not sure if I messed up the update or if this is truly a bad package.
Needless to say, I'm not as impressed with up2date as I was initially (see my sendmail post below)
Best,
