New Trojan Spies on Linux Users by Taking Screenshots and Recording Audio - be aware!!!
'Dr.Web, a Russian antivirus maker, has detected a new threat against Linux users, the Linux.Ekocms.1 trojan, which includes special features that allow it to take screengrabs and record audio.' ~ Softpedia
As every post the OP has made sings the praises of tripwire I assume he's a dev, so anything he has to say really should be taken with a pinch of salt
I don't know what issue you have with me, but i am a linux beginner using Ubuntu home desktop.
I want to know if i have intrusion, then there is as i understand it two options, Aide or Tripwire, both doing the same thing.
Now i was lucky getting help and support from another member at Ubuntu Forum Org to install and configurate tripwire as beginner which made me very happy.

keith hedger is simply stating the facts (everybody can see your posting history), and i agree with "taking it with a pinch of salt".
i also don't trust in statements like "if you want this and that (on any given computer system) you have the choice between 2 large software company products" and "choosing product X has made me happy".
as the previous poster pointed out, on linux there's usually many different solutions to a problem.
That would be a fair point (is a fair point), if we were discussing what is best. However, the OP states
Quote:
...as i understand it two options, Aide or Tripwire...
and to disprove that, all that has to be done is to state that there is another option. afick is another option and is a 'tripwire work alike' and is slightly less unmaintained (there have been changes within living memory, even though it may be that those are only correcting issues that tripwire, which from a functional point of view they are copying, didn't have).
