Tripwire Installation

[hantak]

Greetings,

I'm in the process of securing my VDS. Right now my needs are very few (apache, php, ftp, and mysql). Mail and whatnot are being hosted elsewhere for the time being.

I've locked down all non-essential ports through Virtuozzo's firewall.

But being the paranoid person I am, I would like to install tripwire.

I'm fairly new to CentOS, are there any tips / tricks I should know about before installing it?

Hi hantak,

I apologize for the lack of reply to the thread thus far. Surely this was overlooked. That said, I'm not aware of any tips or tricks with Tripwire to be honest with you. My recommendation would simply be to thoroughly read the documentation so that it's understood inside and out, and perhaps head over to the cpanel forums, and webhostingtalk, and do a keyword search for tripwire. If other folks are using it I'm sure there's been some great first hand experience based information that's been posted in those places.

I'd just like to point out that the forums aren't really for support - for that you would want to contact the helpdesk. You will always get a much speedier reply when contacting the helpdesk, as the forums are geared towards presales, customer chat, howtos, and so forth.
