sane Tripwire default policy file

I spent several hours yesterday and today fleshing out a proper default policy file for Gentoo. Now we don't have use the crappy Redhat version from 2002 that ships with tripwire. I have made it more 'gentooesque' by arranging the files/rules based on the package that installs them rather than their function. Now a Gentoo system admin can simply comment out an entire block of rules for packages that are not installed. I hope it works well for people, and maybe after a bit of tweaking by a dev we can get it bundled with the tripwire install.

I posted it over at gentoo bugzilla. I plan to improve it even more, and add rules for commonly installed apps such as Apache, MySql, Bind, PHP, syslog-ng, vixie-cron and so on. I will post all my revisions right here on my site .

It's my birthday

That's right. I turned thirty today, but I still feel a hair short of 25. I am just relaxing now, but I will be going out for dinner and drinks later. Knowing me, I can say that I will likely be floor-licking drunk in 8 hours or so.
