Please enter your local passphrase:

The above seems to be related...

As for the segmentation fault error, did you build this on your system, or install from an rpm, or other package?

You're missing something in that first command, you need:

CODE

tripwire -m u -r /path/to/report/from/the/email/whatever.twr

The segfault suggests that you installed it yourself. If you are on RHE, then you can use the mandrake rpm successfully:

CODE

rpm -Uvh http://zeniiia.linux.org.uk/pub/distributions/mandrakelinux/official/official/10.1/i586/media/main/tripwire-2.3.1.2-8mdk.i586.rpm

You will then have to modify the policy file to suit your server.
