We've been running TripWire on one of our systems for several years, and have never had issues with it except those that would be expected when yum-ming the system with updates.

Suddenly, yesterday morning, we have massive checksum differences reported. I seem to remember a discussion on this list in the last few months about prelink, so I checked its config on the system. It is turned on, and /etc/prelink.cache is dated at 04:02 yesterday. Since the daily tripwire scan is run out of /etc/cron.daily, it would've run at shortly after 04:00 as well, so I'm WAG-ing there's a connection here.

Question is: why have we never seen this before in all the years since we upgraded the system to RHEL 5.x?

Thanks.
