Tripwire Install

I have a fresh 4.5 install and I want to get tripwire setup. I tried

[b]yum install tripwire[/b]

but get [i]no match for argument: tripwire[/i]

So I found a host for the rpm on the internet and downloaded it with

[b]wget[/b] http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras/6/i386/tripwire-2.4.1.1-1.fc6.i386.rpm

The file downloaded, but has two dependencies: [i]libcrypto.so.6[/i] and [i]rtld(GNU_HASH)[/i]

Where and/or how do I get these files or better yet is there an easier way?

tripwire for CentOS 4 is available from the KBS-extras repository. See:

http://wiki.centos.org/Repositories

for more details on 3rd party repositories.

I was able to download/install tripwire with yum after adding that repository you suggested.

I'm following this guide for configuration: http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/8758

I'm at the point where I'm generating the initial database with the command

[b]tripwire --init --cfgfile twcfg.enc --polfile tw.pol --site-keyfile my_home_key --local-keyfile my_local_key[/b]

I get this error:

### Error: File could not be found.
### /etc/tripwire/tw.pol
### Exiting...

I tried renaming the file /etc/tripwire/twpol.txt to /etc/tripwire/tw.pol but it didn't work

any idea?
