How to configure tripwire to ignore certain files?

Question

I run tripwire daily, I wish to make tripwire --check ignore certain files and directories. How can I do it?

Answer 1

You gotta specify a stop point. On the text version of the policy file, it would look like this:

!/srv/ro/myfile1.txt ;
!/srv/ro/myfile2.txt ;

For more information search for "stop" at "man twpolicy"
