[olug] Tripwire policy file setup

[Don Kauffman]

I have kind of a newbie question. Here's the situation. I'm trying to 
set up tripwire for the first time on a box that hasn't been on the net. 
I ran tripwire --check after initializing the data base. and I'm seeing 
there's a lot of files missing.  The majority are in /var/lock/subsys 
(e.g.. /var/lock/subsys/ripd). I checked the policy file and sure enough 
they are listed. I started to comment them out but then I thought I'd 
better check on this. I don't want to see errors on files I know aren't 
there. At the same time, however, I want to know what is important to have

My questions are:
1> how important are these individual /var/lock/subsys/* files?
2> how do they get created?
3> what would I have to do to get them created?

Thanks!
