DESCRIPTION The twadmin utility is used to perform certain administrative functions re- lated to Tripwire files and configuration options. Specifically, twadmin allows encoding, decoding, signing, and verification of Tripwire files, and provides a means to generate and change local and site keys. Creating a configuration file (--create-cfgfile) This command mode designates an existing text file as the new configuration file for Tripwire. The plain text configuration file must be specified on the command line. Using the site key, the new configuration file is en- coded and saved. Printing a configuration file (--print-cfgfile) This command mode prints the specified encoded and signed configuration file in clear-text form to standard output. Replacing a policy file (--create-polfile) This command mode designates an existing text file as the new policy file for Tripwire. The plain text policy file must be specified on the command line. Using the site key, the new policy file is encoded and saved. Printing a policy file (--print-polfile) This command mode prints the specified encoded and signed policy file in clear-text form to standard output. Removing encryption from a file (--remove-encryption) This command mode allows the user to remove signing from signed configura- tion, policy, database, or report files. Multiple files may be specified on the command line. The user will need to enter the appropriate local or site keyfile, or both if a combination of files is to be verified. Even with the cryptographic signing removed, these files will be in a binary en- coded (non-human-readable) form. Encrypting a file (--encrypt) This command mode allows the user to sign configuration, policy, database files, or reports. Multiple files may be specified on the command line. The files will be signed using either the site or local key, as appropriate for the type of file. To automate the process, the passphrase for the key files can be included on the command line. Examining the signing status of a file (--examine) This command allows the user to examine the listed files and print a report of their signing status. This report displays the filename, file type, whether or not a file is signed, and what key (if any) is used to sign it. Generating keys (--generate-keys) This command mode generates site and/or local key files with names speci- fied by the user. Changing passphrases (--change-passphrases) This command reencrypts the private part of the site and/or local key files using the key filenames and passphrases specified by the user.
