Chuck Campbell (campbell () neosoft com) pointed me out that tripwire dies with coredump on R.H. linux, if it hits a filename containing 128-255 characters.
I reported this to the author maybe a year and a half ago(?). I was evidently not the first as the author already knew about the problem. I would recommend against using security tools that are not properly maintained. It's probably worth looking at the release date of a package before using it and reconsidering if it hasn't been touched within the last 6 months or year. There are probably other bugs lurking that the author hasn't bothered to fix. Austin
