Two guys, specifically Guy Evans <Guy.Evans_at_brunel.ac.uk> and Guy Helmer
<ghelmer_at_alpha.dsu.edu> sent me some more information.

I was able to confirm this. The standard test scripts have sleep statements
that are disabled with comments about a bug with SunOS tmpfs. When I enabled
these sleep statements, tripwire passed all its tests.

Guy Helmer sent me his tripwire config file, which I'm adapting to one of our
servers here at SPU.

Also, Tim Mooney <mooney_at_toons.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> is working on a "new-and-
improved" tripwire config for a DU 3.2D host, and suggested we could do some
stepwise refinement on it once he's got it working the way he wants it.

I've placed a copy of my current config file on the World Wide Web at this
URL:

It's definitely a work in progress, but have a look if you're interested.

If others are interested in working on a generic Digital Unix tripwire
configuration file, I'm willing to act as the clearinghouse.
