[Plug] tripwire signitures ?


Okay, I got tripwire to work, and even figured out how to write the file
to multiple floppies:

mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy
tar -Mcvf /mnt/floppy/tw.db.gz.tar tw.db.gz
(copies some stuff, asks you to hit enter)
(wait for floppy drive to stop writing)
umount /mnt/floppy
(put in a new floppy)
mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy
<hit enter>


..I did the mounting/unmounting on another virtual terminal, presumably
doing a ctrl-z would also work.


But my question is, how do I generate signitures for my tw.db ?

Yeah, I've got my tw.db on floppies, but I'd like to also generate a few
signitures/checksums & copy them to the floppy as well, so I can verify
the signitures instead of restoring the tw.db from the floppies each time.

I feel like tripwire had the ability to do this itself... like it had a
seperate tiny binary which existed for this sole purpose, and was intended
to kept offline with the tw.db (so that the program couldn't be hacked
either).
