Hi! First I want to say thanks to frodo @ MacGuru for porting Tripwire to OS X - I now have it running great on my system.
While running integrity checks, I notice that tripwire sweeps up emacs save files (*~) and would like to know how I may configure Tripwire to ignore such files?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
The ideal way to ignore these files is with a wildcard - unfortunately, wildcards aren't supported in the current opensource release.
Possible options:
- Are there lots of these files, or just a few? If the number is small, stop points may work well.
- Are the files scattered everywhere, or in just a couple directories? Might be able to switch to inclusive vs. exclusive rules for this directory.
- A creative but labor-intensive way would be to script the following process:
* list all objects in a given directory
* grep out all ~ files
* feed resulting list thru tripwire, having it scan only the objects on the list
- Use vi instead of emacs :-)
Good luck-
Jason
