I would like to know can i bypass the passphrase entry when i run the tripwire --init command. the reseon why i ask is that I want initialize the tripwire database once a week and i thought i would put in cron to automate the process, since I have approx. 80 servers to monitor it would be time consuming to run the tripwire --init command manually on all servers.
Thanks,

You can run the following:
> /usr/local/tripwire/sbin/tripwire -m i -s -S /usr/local/tripwire/etc/site.key -P <local passphrase> -L /usr/local/tripwire/etc/`hostname`-local.key
Good luck...
Thank you, I will try that out.
