Bug 45823 – tripwire --init segfaults, I did this command after: 'emerge tripwire; /etc/tripwire/twinstall.sh'

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Bryan Duff 2004-03-26 11:00:03 UTC]

I will look into the install again; and editing of twpol.txt to my liking, that could be part of the problem.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge tripwire
2./etc/tripwire/twinstall.sh
3.tripwire --init

Actual Results:  
### Warning: File system error.
### Filename: /var/lock/subsys/ypxfrd
### No such file or directory
### Continuing...
### Warning: File system error.
### Filename: /var/lock/subsys/zebra
### No such file or directory
### Continuing...
Software interrupt forced exit: Segmentation Fault


Expected Results:  
Tripwire database initialized successfully?

tripwire can be sensitive to compiler optimisations, i'm going to use strip-flags..please wait about 30 minutes, emerge sync and then remerge tripwire.

hopefully it should solve your problem, if not, it would really help if you could provide a backtrace.

[Comment 2 Bryan Duff 2004-03-28 09:40:06 UTC]

Sorry, about not listing a backtrace.  Unfortunately it doesn't tell much:

I'll recompile with minimal flags, and see if that fixes the problem.

# gdb tripwire
(gdb) run --init
...
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

Enjoy.

I believe this is fixed with flag-o-matic.
